• Reports claimed Julian Álvarez, World Cup winner with Argentina, was frustrated with Atlético Madrid's current form.

• His agent firmly denied rumors of rejecting a contract renewal, confirming his commitment to winning titles with the club.

Amid Atlético Madrid’s recent struggles, rumors swirled about the future of star forward Julian Álvarez.

Several media outlets suggested that the Argentine, a World Cup champion, was frustrated with the team’s current situation and might refuse a contract renewal as a first step toward seeking a new challenge next summer.

However, Álvarez’s agent, Fernando Hidalgo, spoke to the Italian site Calcio Mercato and categorically dismissed these claims as baseless speculation.

Hidalgo stated: "Everything said about Julian rejecting a renewal is not true. These are just rumors without any foundation."

Since joining Atlético, Álvarez has become a key figure in the team, combining relentless movement, fighting spirit, and a knack for scoring from tight chances.

He is considered the cornerstone of the club’s current and future project.

Hidalgo also emphasized Álvarez’s loyalty and focus: the player is fully committed to helping Atlético Madrid overcome its recent slump and is dedicated to achieving trophies with the team.

While the denial reassures fans for now, pressure remains on the club’s management to improve results and strengthen the squad to retain top talents like Álvarez in the future.
