Fabrizio Romano reveals when Julian Alvarez arrives
Today, popular journalist Fabrizio Romano has posted on his social media the steps that Atlético de Madrid will take in the coming hours. To start with, Connor Gallagher has already signed his contract with Atlético de Madrid . The Englishman has attended the Metropolitano stadium to take the relevant photos for his official announcement.
However, this announcement will not come until Samu Omorodión passes his medical with Chelsea . The Spanish striker will travel to London this afternoon, where he will undergo the medical tests and sign his contract with the Blues . This operation will trigger a series of moves that will benefit Atlético de Madrid .
Julian Alvarez will be able to travel to the Spanish capital once these two moves are confirmed. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that he will land in Madrid on Sunday afternoon , and Monday is the agreed date for the signing of the contract . Finally, Julian Alvarez will be officially announced as a new Atletico Madrid player .
Julian Alvarez, from Cordoba to glory
Julián Álvarez was born on January 31, 2000 , in Calchín, Córdoba, Argentina. He started playing football at a very young age in his hometown, and at the age of 11, he had a brief experience in the youth teams of Real Madrid . For bureaucratic and adaptation reasons, he returned to Argentina and later, joined the youth divisions of River Plate .
He made his debut in the River Plate first team in October 2018 under the management of Marcelo Gallardo , when he was just 18 years old. There, Julián Álvarez stood out for his goalscoring ability, his vision of the game and his ability to play in several attacking positions. He was a key piece in the team's attack, winning several titles, including the Argentine Professional League championship.
In January 2022, Julián Álvarez was signed by Manchester City , one of the most powerful clubs in Europe. However, he remained on loan at River Plate until mid-2022, when he joined Pep Guardiola 's orders. His contribution to the English team has been huge, even as a substitute for Erling Braut Haaland .
The Argentine quickly adapted to European football under Pep Guardiola . His ability to press, move without the ball and score made him an asset in an already star-studded team. He was part of the team that won the Premier League and Champions League in the 2022/23 season, cementing himself as an elite player.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the player will sign for Atlético de Madrid. Julián Álvarez will be the star signing for the red-and-white club for next season. We will see if the Argentine does as well as in his previous spells.
