Atletico forward Julian Alvarez is seriously considering switching agents. This move comes in the wake of a tumultuous summer transfer window that left his future hanging in the balance.
The Argentine eventually remained with Atletico, despite speculation linking him with moves to Arsenal and Barcelona at different points. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that the London side had been waiting for player negotiations with the Catalans to collapse, but their chances of securing a transfer were always slim.
Atletico are said to be displeased with how the situation unfolded and have pointed the finger at the player’s representatives. According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, Alvarez is now likely to sever ties with his agent, Fernando Hidalgo.
In a strategic pivot, the 26-year-old forward is considering appointing Javier Pastore as his new representative. Alvarez aims to hire someone capable of facilitating a desired transfer in the future while maintaining a positive relationship with Atletico's hierarchy.
It’s now anticipated that Arsenal will abandon their pursuit of Alvarez, given the player has made it clear he has no intentions of joining them.
