According to Marca, Álvarez has refocused his attention on Atlético Madrid. After his "dream" transfer to Barcelona fell through and he rejected a return to the Premier League, the Argentine striker will finish this transfer window at Atlético Madrid and begin working to turn around his current situation.

Days ago, Julián accepted the reality that joining Barça was impossible. Since he refused to return to England, a move to the Premier League was also ruled out. With the transfer market closing in hours, El Araña will remain at Atlético Madrid and begin attempting to improve his situation. At training, Julián was joined by Giuliano Simeone, Cuti Romero, and Musso, and later featured in the substitute lineup.

As he made his way to the training pitch, Julián walked alongside his Argentine national team teammates. Once on the field, Giuliano Simeone and Cuti Romero stayed close to him. When the day's training began, Julián was not in the starting lineup. Atlético Madrid's starting lineup matched the one used against Sevilla.

However, this did not prevent Julián from proving during subsequent training sessions that he had every chance of regaining his form. After an excellent play in the closing phases of the training match, the coaching staff shouted to him: "Very good, Julián!"

At the end of training, Julián also did continuous running drills with Cuti Romero, both hoping to reach peak fitness as quickly as possible.

This is also the main shared objective of the coaching staff and Julián himself: to minimize the time needed to recover his form so that the external noise surrounding him does not constantly follow him, and so his on-field performance once again becomes the focus of external attention.

Last week, Julián was left out of the squad for the match against Sevilla due to "discomfort." The team's current plan is for him to return to the squad this Friday. At that time, Atlético Madrid will travel to Bilbao to play Athletic Bilbao away on Saturday.

Meanwhile, on the final day before the transfer market closes, Atlético Madrid is still trying to find new clubs for Giménez and Lemar. However, their high salaries have become a significant obstacle to their departure, making deals particularly difficult. Sevilla had shown interest in Giménez, but the club lacked sufficient financial capacity to cover the center-back's salary.

That day, Giménez and Lemar trained at the academy. Carlos Martín and Obed Vargas participated in the field training; both are awaiting the completion of ongoing loan agreements.
