Just last week, FC Barcelona seemed like it was getting dangerously close to getting Atlético Madrid striker Julián Alvarez, but earlier on Tuesday, Real Madrid’s Florentino Pérez made good on his presidential promise to lob a €150 million deal to a club for a star player.

It was rumored to be Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise or any one of a number of Paris Saint-Germain’s core group. However, it was NONE of those players. Instead, Real Madrid took a run at Alvarez (as BFW covered here). The proposal was not well-received by Atléti — as show by the club’s response on X:

Official statement with our clarifications regarding the official statement from our neighbors
@realmadriden:

1.Your video of the Pope got cut off before he said he was also an Atleti fan.

2.You may have confused politeness with gratitude, but just to be clear: we don’t thank you for anything.

3.We are neither considering nor evaluating any offer for Julián.

4.How could we not get along, when you make us laugh even more than @FCBarcelona?

P.S. Taking advantage of the good relationship with your new president, let’s see if you stop “stealing” players from our Academy. Thanks a lot, @realmadriden!

Let the games begin!
