Julian Alvarez’s future at Atletico Madrid could hinge on Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final at Arsenal.
The Argentine, linked with Arsenal and Barcelona, struck a crucial penalty in last week’s 1-1 draw and remains central to Diego Simeone’s hopes of reaching a first final in a decade.
Alvarez has 10 goals in his last 18 games, proving his worth after speculation about his future. Simeone rested his squad at the weekend to ensure Alvarez is fit for London.
Victory would not only put Atletico in Budapest but also show Alvarez he can achieve his ambitions without leaving Madrid.
