️ Cerezo firm on Julián Álvarez: he's under contract at Atleti
The president of Atlético de Madrid, Enrique Cerezo, was the main talking point at the directors’ lunch held before the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against FC Barcelona.
When asked about the persistent rumors linking Atlético’s biggest star, Julián Álvarez, with other European clubs, the president was blunt and used his usual direct style to dispel any doubt about the Argentine forward’s situation.
"I’m going to explain it to you in three words: he has a contract with Atlético de Madrid," Cerezo told the assembled media. With that statement, the president sought to put an end to speculation over the striker’s possible departure. He has become the team’s main attacking reference under Diego Pablo Simeone and is a key piece in the Argentine coach’s system.
Cerezo’s emphatic response did not stop there. When journalists asked whether he could guarantee 100 percent that "La Araña" would stay in the long term, the president replied with a metaphor that left everyone stunned: "Can you guarantee that you’re not going to die?".
The role of Julián Álvarez looks vital to Atlético’s hopes of lifting a trophy again and going toe-to-toe with the giants of European football.
