Atletico Says “No Siesta” for Alvarez Transfer …
Atletico Madrid’s sporting director, Carlos Busero, has politely told Liverpool to take a hike if they think they’ll snag Julian Alvarez this summer. Alvarez, previously spotted in the wild at Manchester City, went on a grand adventure to Atletico for ÂŁ82 million, leaving heartbreak in Liverpool’s wake. The Reds wanted him last year, but Atletico scooped him up like the sharpest talon in the game.
Despite the rumor mill spewing talk of Alvarez hopping to Merseyside, possibly swapping spots with Darwin Nunez, Busero has popped that fantasy bubble. He assures everyone that Alvarez is too busy counting goals and medals to notice the whispers. With 23 goals in 44 matches, he’s as content as a cat in a sunbeam in Madrid’s lineup.
Liverpool, still a bit dizzy from a Carabao Cup final hiccup against Newcastle, is casting their tired eyes elsewhere. Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen, and a few other fancy names are dancing in those dreams. Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher is yelling from the sidelines, demanding a fresh striker to jazz up the Anfield attack next summer. Liverpool’s search for a striker is like a reality show: will they find the one, or will it be another season of heartbreak?
