"With Atletico, obviously I'd like to win those titles. Why? Because the feeling of lifting a trophy is very beautiful, and I also want to leave a mark at the club. The truth is I feel very good [at Atletico]. They made everything very easy for me. Also, having many Argentine team-mates helps a lot in day-to-day life."
"I felt that I was going to have my space, that I'd be able to develop to find my best version and, well, I think that I've grown a lot, both as a player and person, and I'm on that path of always wanting more."
"There's always some restlessness among players and their representatives," Simeone said. "It's their time to work. With a World Cup in between, there will be players who always want to show themselves, although nothing guarantees they'll play else"
Julian Álvarez joined Atlético Madrid from Manchester City in 2024 and has scored 40 goals in 79 appearances across all competitions. He enjoyed a strong start to the current season but has only scored twice in his last eight games. Álvarez says he feels very good at Atlético, credits Argentine teammates for easing daily life, and wants to win trophies and leave a mark while continuing to develop. Atlético sit fourth in LaLiga, nine points behind Barcelona, and have had limited Copa del Rey success recently. Diego Simeone acknowledged player restlessness and the World Cup’s influence on playing opportunities and transfer considerations.
