Juli\u00e1n Alvarez was linked with a move to Liverpool this summer, but his representative has denied any formal approaches by the English club. The agent’s response sought to set the record straight after weeks of transfer talk.<\/p>\n
Alvarez bagged 29 goals in 54 appearances with Atl\u00e9tico Madrid, finding the back of the net more often than some of Spain\u2019s best forwards, like Lamine Yamal and Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior. With both the Reds and the Gunners in need of attacking reinforcements, Alvarez had been mentioned as a potential target for either side.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were no official offers from Liverpool to sign Juli\u00e1n last season, and everything that has been said in this regard is false,\u201d Alvarez\u2019s agent told Erem News .<\/p>\n
\u201cLast summer there were no offers because Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid didn\u2019t want to sell the player, so negotiations didn\u2019t take place,\u201d Hidalgo said.<\/p>\n
Earlier reports claimed Liverpool had watched Alvarez while he was still at Manchester City and even proposed a swap involving the striker and Luis D\u00edaz. Those proposals never materialised and Alvarez subsequently completed his move to Atl\u00e9tico Madrid.<\/p>\n
Over the same window Liverpool strengthened their attack with Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitik\u00e9 and Alexander Isak. Alvarez has had a slower start to the 2025\/26 season, scoring just one goal in Atl\u00e9tico\u2019s opening four La Liga matches as the team picked up five points from those fixtures.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is certain is that the player is fully committed to Atl\u00e9tico and is focused solely on doing what is best for the club,\u201d Hidalgo added. Alvarez had been expected to face Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday, Sept. 17, but he was ruled out of that clash due to injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
