After his participation in the 2026 World Cup with the Argentine National Team, and amid the rumors linking him with Barcelona, Julián Álvarez returned to training with Atlético de Madrid, but his return was far from the usual for one of the team's main figures.
The Spider underwent the corresponding medical checks alongside other players who also participated in the World Cup, such as Marcos Llorente and Álex Baena. His integration into training will be gradual and it is expected that he will start training on the pitch in the coming days.
The future of the forward is one of the major focal points of the transfer market. Barcelona maintains its interest in the Argentine and considers him one of its priorities to strengthen the attack, while the stance from Madrid remains that Álvarez is not for sale.
