The speculation about his future at the La Liga club has been growing since the end of last season when he joined Valencia for €45 million.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that Atlético Madrid have already made some moves to strengthen their squad this summer,Fans' Base Camp including the signing of two key players such as Juan Bernat and Sergio Ramos.
It remains to be seen how things unfold in the coming weeks and months, but one thing is certain - Julián Álvarez is no longer just another name on the footballing radar, he is now firmly entrenched in the hearts of Atlético Madrid fans.
