The Catalans have reportedly made an initial 100 million euro offer for Alvarez, although Atletico have denied receiving the bid, and Cerezo says Alvarez’s future is in the Spanish capital.
“Julián Álvarez is an Atlético de Madrid player, not just because of last season, but for many others,” he told reporters at an event Monday.
“We work continuously to bring the best players to our team. And until August, when La Liga starts, there’s still plenty of time to scout, scout, and bring in players.
“We’ve had a very good season and we’re really in a position to prepare for the next one. As transfer developments occur, we’ll announce them.”
Yet Cerezo’s words are unlikely to anything to stop the speculation. It’s been reported that Alvarez does want to join Barcelona and the Catalans are prepared for a long battle with Atletico this summer.
