On August 11, 2024, Julian Alvarez, nicknamed 'the little spider,' arrived at Atletico Madrid's training ground accompanied by his agent Sergio Diaz. Other Atletico players had started training at 9:30 AM, and some had already left by the time Alvarez arrived. Spanish media reported that Alvarez ended his post-World Cup vacation and returned to the team on August 10, undergoing pre-season medical checks with teammates Marcos Llorente and Baena, but did not visit the training base. Alvarez plans to discuss his future with the club, but manager Diego Simeone is in South Korea with the team for pre-season friendlies, so the planned communication did not occur. Currently, Alvarez's future remains uncertain, while Atletico Madrid insists on not selling the player.
