""Look, it doesn't bother me. I try not to pay too much attention, but I know what's being said," Alvarez told Marca. "Most of it comes from social media. I think there's a lot more talk than what actually happens in reality. "I'm very focused on this season and on what lies ahead with Atletico Madrid. So I try to block that out and think about myself."
"Valencia are 16th in LaLiga and just three points clear of the relegation zone after 15 games this season. However, they are on a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions (W2 D3) since a 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid at the start of November. PLAYERS TO WATCH Atletico Madrid - Antoine Griezmann Griezmann has scored 13 goals in 26 appearances against Valencia in LaLiga, more than he has managed against any other opponent in the competition."
Julian Alvarez says rumours of a potential move to Barcelona do not bother him and that he tries to avoid social media chatter. He scored 17 goals and provided four assists in 37 LaLiga appearances last season and has directly contributed to nine league goals this term (seven goals, two assists). He responded to recent criticism by scoring in Atletico Madrid's 3-2 Champions League win over PSV. Atletico have lost their last two league matches and sit fourth ahead of a fixture with Valencia, who are 16th but unbeaten in five games.
