Enrique Cerezo's statements

“Can you guarantee that you will stay until the end of the year? If a player has a multi-year contract, tell me what can happen,” said the president of the Madrid club, adding, according to the AS newspaper, “They consider me some kind of god, and he won't leave until I tell him to. You're the ones who aren't closing any doors. Let me make it clear in three words: he has a contract with Atlético de Madrid,” thereby making it clear that Julián would remain with the club due to his contract. As for bidding farewell to Antoine Griezmann, he emphasized that he won't do so yet. “I'll do it when he leaves for good; he still has a few months left with us,” Cerezo said.

Julián Álvarez has reached an agreement with Atlético

During his remarks, the president also stated that he has a good feeling about the upcoming matches, but he acknowledged that, given the nature of soccer, the possibility of defeat remains. Although Julián Álvarez has established himself as one of the most sought-after strikers on the market, he currently has a contract with Atlético de Madrid, as confirmed by the club president, who also endorsed his coach, Diego Simeone, describing his performance as “perfect.”
