Argentina forward Julian Alvarez said Monday he wants to exit Atletico Madrid to “fulfil his dream"l,” amid reported interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris St Germain.

“I spoke with people at the club (Atletico), with those I had to speak with, and the best thing for everyone is a transfer and I want to fulfil my dream,” Alvarez said after Argentina’s World Cup Group J win over Austria.

“It's not the time to talk about this, but I also can't hide it. I try to be an honest person.”

Weeks earlier, Atletico turned down a reported €150 million bid from Real Madrid for the 26-year-old forward. Spanish and Argentine outlets have also linked the striker with moves to Barcelona and PSG.

Alvarez moved to the LaLiga side from Manchester City in 2024 for a fee reported by Spanish and English media at 95 million euros, but said his future is still up in the air.

“It's not known when it will be resolved,” he told reporters at the Dallas stadium.

The striker is still recovering from an ankle injury and has been used off the bench in both of Argentina’s World Cup games so far.
