Angelfrost:Where you have a big league of very competitive teams such as the EPL movement like this doesn't matter because any team can hurt you and no particular player can win you the league. But in Laliga it is so tight at the top and a lot weaker so weak down the league that one player moving to a rival heavily tips the balance of power. Like someone said, will Barca allow Yamal to move across to a rival, or Mbappe. Those deals will psychologically break the selling team. Remember the highly volatile Figo transfer from Barca to Real. That same season Barca collapsed to 4th in the league while Real lifted the trophy. It was very damaging to the club in all sorts of ways and lessons have been learnt by the big three ever since. If Griezmann was still at his prime his transfer to Barca will have been very damaging to Atletico. They won't have even done it. 1 Like |

Mirasteel:You see one thing, Westerners (European leagues) always Under-rate Black Players or Players of African Descent, that is why they are really not keen about Osihmen. I have not seen any Premier League Striker, better than Osihmen..... if we mention Haaland, they'll be level in comparison. I would rather Arsenal sign Osihmen, than Alvarez, if they want to win the EPL and Champions League. But here is the Politics of it all: Galasataray wants to keep Osihmen, not because they rally can do without him, but they want to ensure they "kill" his start, knowing that he is advance in Age and has juts three years max, to be in peak form, before start dropping as he ages. It is the usual "Turkey Wickedness". They did the same thing last season, Arsenal was ready to buy Osihmen for 150Million GBP, record-breaking and pay him highest Wage... and add Giokerezes to the exchange, for Galasataray but they still refuse. Osihmen knows this but he is handling it right by not "pushing it forcefully", as if he was not interested, unlike Alvarez. In Alvarez case, he wants to leave Atletico, he said so during the World Cup, which is somehow 'disrespectful" to his Club and fan. The Player who wants to move must Pretend he does not want to move, while allowing his gents to do the Negotiation and push his case, while keeping an eye on what is going on. He is still on Contract with Atletico and being paid, so he needs to show some "loyalty", even if it is fake! The Fans will like to see that. Barcelona is also not being Honest about this: When they saw that Alvarez was desperate to go to Barcelona (after Maun U rejected their silly bid of 12Million GBP for Rashford, who was on loan with them, with an Option to Sign for a pittance of 20Million GBP! Imagine, them pricing someone who score very important goals for them last season, whose goal won them the league, for 12Million GBP?), they approached Atletico but Atletico said "a Firm NO". Athletico expected them to go away quietly but they began to egg Alvarez on the more, to leave Atletico, asking him to go all out and pressure Atletico to sell him to Barcelona. When Athletico saw their antics, they said even if we are to sell him, it will never be to Barcelona, who is our RIVAL in the league! Now, we all know that selling your best player to your league rival is suicidal, (except if you are Arsene Wenger, the Professeur who is interested in only MONEY and not Laurels, not Success. He sells his best players to his league Rival, which is whi he never won the league, for around Fifteen years, since 2004! ) Due to Alvarez insistence, pressure and other antics, Athletico knew that when a Player is no longer interested in being at a Club, it will affect his Performance and will be a disaster for both Club and Player so, they 'surrendered' and decided their best Option is to sell Alvarez. They will sell to any other Club outside La Liga, especially not Barcelona but the Player wants only Barcelona, he does not want to go to Arsenal or anywhere else.  The Conditions are: 1) We are not willing to sell him to our League Rivals Barcelona. 2) If Barcelona wants to do what is called "Violent Takeover' in acquisition of the Player, they would have to pay his 450-500Million Release Clause and he can go to them. 3) If Arsenal wants to buy him, (or any non-La Liga CLub), they dont mind, if the player agrees, Arsenal can have him for a asking price of 150Million GBP. Arsenal Coach Mikel Arteta wants Alvarez, he called the player up to chat with him, about One Week ago, but the player refused to pick his call. Arteta keeps pursuing him and told Athletico that should they decide to sell, they should inform Arsenal first. I hear that it has become clear to Alvarez that he will not be g0ing to Barcelona so, he has tow choices: 1) Accept the Arsenal move(if he can agree personal terms with them) or agree to another Premiership Club move (others have washed their hands off him, they think he would be too dramatic, unsettled and bad influence.... i tend to agree with them though.) 2) Refuse to go to Arsenal or elsewhere, serve out his Contract at Athletico but he wont have it easy at all, as he has drawn the anger to Athletico fans who are not booing him during their Games. Either way, he has made a mess of the situation, he was not smart and thinks too much of himself. I hear he is "picking ' Arteta's Call now, that the Window is closing-in on him. Disclosure: I be Arsenal fan o. Left to me, Arsenal should NOT buy Alvarez, he has become toxic, at least not this season.... they should rather pursue Osihmen and break the bank for him. But that Turkish Owner at Galasataray is a B.I.G Problem, he just wants Osihmen to rot-away in that second-rate league, without a chance to showcase himself at the Champions league final, which Arsenal will likely reach again. Good Players with a future, should avoid Turkey by all means or insert 'escape clauses' into their Contract, if they have a choice, Turks are very vengeful for no reason.  1 Like |

sleeknaija:"Player isn't for Sale to a la Liga Rival", is different from "Player isn't for Sale at all to anyone". Athletico is under no obligation to sell its player to any Club, Barca inclusive. It can Negotiate and Sell to any club it wants and refuse to sell to any club it does not want.... Player is their Football 'Property", they pay his wages. |

That is a one of a kind state if the art war machine...Alvarez is not one of a kind ...he can be replaced with the right amount |

Atletico de Madrid owners are one of the richest in Spain. They don't need to sell any player to sustain their club. Why would they want to strengthen one of their direct rivals? Would Barcelona have done the same? Why didn't they sell Feran Torres to a Spanish club? That Alvarez too is behaving like a spoilt brat. After Atletico rescued you from man city where you were a 2nd fiddle and made you a star, the best way to repay them is by going to the press to announce that you wish to join one of their biggest rivals after just 2 years? Who does that? I personally don't want him at Arsenal, he's not better than the 2 current top strikers there. He should not come and use his bratty behaviour to scatter our dressing room harmony. 1 Like |

smallsmall:I doubt The thing is , they took a lot of risk and spent a lot of fortune to get him including his wages... In fact, he is their most prized asset...He can leave but for a fortune. So the problem is clubs like arsenal and co want to pay his release clause but want him to personally reduce his wages which is not fair Bro I pick this guy over Halaand anyday anytime |

That guy no get sense....he's not loyal at all, he behave like a prostitute. He spent just two years with Man city, moved to Athletico, he spent two years he then go and be announcing online that he want a transfer to Barcelona when he's still having contract till 2030. I'm an Arsenal fan and I pray Arsenal should not buy him.. Are football clubs loyal? Don't they replace players when they feel the new player is better? So, why shouldn't a player go to a club where he feels will be better for him? |

Reference:Don't feel for him, He behaved unprofessionally at the world cup by talking down on the same club that rescued him from Man City's bench. His only sure plug is moving to Arsenal and then going to Barcelona later, Maybe after 2 years that's if he still have the vibe in him and Barcelona waited without getting another option. |

I guess football started in 2026? In 2023 FCB sold Depay to ATM for 3m 2020 was Suarez for 6m 2013 was David Villa for 2m ATM sold a dead Griezmann to FCB for 120m in 2019 and took him back in 2021 for 22m. On July 1st 2009 the best player in the whole world was sold by Man U to real Madrid. So what are you talking about - comparing football players to US F22 Raptor? Reference: |

Schooljob1:Look at the figures 2, 3 and 6 million you are quoting in this time and era and tell me if those are for players in their prime. Glad you quoted a 'dead Griezmann'. Of course you will want to sell a dead player to your prime opponent for over the top fees just as the US doesn't mind Iran flying F-16's. Figo crossed over for 35million pounds way back in 2000, a world record fee at that time and equivalent to perhaps 200, 250 million pounds today in transfer inflated terms. And it is not as if Barca wanted to sell but they were outwitted by the wily old fox at the Santiago. Alvarez is at his prime. Both clubs need a 9 of his quality they both do not have. One selling to the other will weaken the seller and strengthen the buyer at this material point in time with just days to go. Something extraordinary has to happen for the sale to be done and certainly someone on Atletico will pay dearly if it did. |
| Re: Alvarez: "We Want Him" - Laporta; 0% Chance Of Having Him - Atletico Madrid by Schooljob1: 8:34am On Aug 27 |
You're just arguing for the sake of it. No substance. I cited examples as evidence of business transactions between the two clubs. ATM hardly sells to real Madrid and FCB also hardly sells to real Madrid. That was the first point I established. Second was example of Ronaldo being sold at his highest prime to debunk your F22 Raptor which you conveniently became blind to. Suddenly you started suggestions US can sell it to Iran? All for the sake of winning arguments. Reference: |

Athletico Madrid should learn how to do business like Chelsea, if Chelsea were to sell that guy, 180M-200M will come out, Delap with 1epl goal 50m, Jackson that just returned from loan of 15m is now going for 65m, Santos 50m. Athletico should just place a huge price tag on him, if any club meet up fine, you smile to the bank , is not as if he's going to win them the league or UCL |
