Julian Alvarez’s agent has posted a pretty explosive message on social media amid ongoing speculation about the Atletico star’s future.
Barcelona have been linked with the Argentina forward all summer, with Alvarez admitting during the World Cup that he wanted a transfer out of the Spanish capital.
Atletico have repeatedly insisted that he will not depart, with CEO Gil Marin issuing another strong statement today.
He told EFE: “I have no doubt that Atlético is the right place in the world for Julián, and Julián is the perfect striker for Atlético Madrid. We want to keep him.”
Fernando Hidalgo now appears to have responded to those comments with his own message on Instagram that reads: “Never ask a liar why he lied. To explain it. He’d have to lie again.”

A recent report from Mundo Deportivo has also claimed that Atletico would be willing to sell Alvarez to Arsenal but the forward is only thinking about Barcelona.
It’s not clear what happens next, but a long-running saga seems to be turning increasing ugly.
