Julián Álvarez isn't the only one, another star knocks out Simeone: 'I just want to go to Barça'

Atlético de Madrid has started the official season with many doubts and, therefore, rumors linked to Julián Álvarez, the Argentine forward on Simeone's team, have quickly begun to surface. Julián Álvarez had been linked with Barça, but the truth is that, in recent hours, the rumors have not only intensified. In fact, now, in addition to Julián Álvarez, another Atlético de Madrid star is at odds with Cholo Simeone and only wants to leave Madrid to sign for Barça.

Barça is very interested in signing Julián Álvarez, but the transfer market is closed and all parties have agreed to wait until the summer of 2026. Barça will go all out for Julián Álvarez, but they could also try to sign a star from Atlético de Madrid who is fed up with Cholo Simeone, the Argentine coach of the club. Barça already knows: Julián Álvarez is not the only one who is upset with Cholo Simeone's match management, who has the support of the colchonera board.

Atlético de Madrid's results are not good at all: the more they sign, the worse they compete, or so it seems. Julián Álvarez is tired of being at Atlético de Madrid, but he is not the only one: there is another star who wants to pack his bags to play for Flick's Barça. Atlético de Madrid will host Rayo Vallecano this Wednesday and they do so with doubts: they are coming off a draw against Mallorca and a stumble against Liverpool in the Champions League.

Julián Álvarez is not the only one, another star knocks out Simeone: "I only want to go to Barça"

The worst thing for Simeone's team is the feeling, which is not good at all despite the large investment made by the Madrid club. One of the players who is most uncomfortable with Simeone is Julián Álvarez, who left Manchester City to be important at a big European club and is dissatisfied. The main reason has to do with the lack of minutes: Julián Álvarez doesn't finish many matches and, therefore, feels that Simeone doesn't trust him to turn matches around.

Curiously, not only Julián Álvarez is "at odds" with Cholo Simeone. There is another Atlético de Madrid star who, like Julián Álvarez, wants to leave the capital to sign for Barça. It should be noted that, for now, Barça has not made a move for Julián Álvarez, but sources from FC Barcelona acknowledge that they will probably do so during the summer transfer window.

Barça could go after Julián Álvarez so that he becomes the team's new center forward, but they could also fish in Madrid to take another star. Apparently, Marc Pubill is tired of being a substitute at Atlético de Madrid and is highly regarded by Barça: Deco is looking for full-backs and his option has already been considered. Simeone has forgotten about Pubill who, along with Julián Álvarez, could end up joining Barça sooner rather than later.
