According to Mundo Deportivo, one of the main reasons Alvarez is reluctant to return to the Premier League is his family's visa and residency issues.

Nonetheless, Atlético Madrid will not give in to the player's desire to move to Barcelona, which is also the dream of Diego Simeone Jr. Atlético Madrid also faces complaints for negotiating with a player during his protected period.

Against this backdrop, many are wondering why Julian is so reluctant to return to England at this time. If it ultimately becomes the only viable option and he does not wish to remain at Atlético Madrid, then it would be nearly his only choice.

The reason behind it is most likely family circumstances. Argentine journalist Verónica Brunati, who is close to the Atlético Madrid player, explained that while the player was at Manchester City, the visa status of some family members, such as his parents, expired after approximately two years, forcing them to either leave England or seek alternative immigration routes.

Differences Between Spanish and English Regulations

In Spain, he lives with most of his family, including his siblings, and he wants to continue this life. Beyond his professional desire to move to Barcelona and play alongside his idol Messi, there are also personal reasons. Brunati added: "Julian's wife or partner can legally reside in England as a dependent family member of someone holding a work visa, a category that allows partners to remain legally in England."

When Julian played for Manchester City, the family accommodation arrangement created logistical challenges due to restrictions on tourist status duration. The player wanted to live with his extended family, but strict post-Brexit immigration laws made this living arrangement nearly impossible to achieve.

In Spain, under the Foreign Nationals Act and residency visas for family members of EU citizens, if someone holds dual European citizenship—which is the case for many Argentines—combined with family reunification and residency rights based on ancestry, immigration is far more flexible. For South American citizens, visas allowing multiple entries and longer stays are also more readily available.
