Argentina forward Julian Alvarez said on Monday he wants to ​leave Atletico Madrid to “fulfil his dream” ‌following reported interest from Real Madrid, ​Barcelona and Paris Saint-⁠Germain.

“I spoke with people at the club (Atletico), with those I had to speak with, ‌and the best thing for everyone is a transfer and ‌I want to fulfil my dream,” ‌Alvarez ⁠said after Argentina’s World Cup ⁠Group J win over Austria.

“It’s not the time to talk about this, but I also ​can’t hide it. ‌I try to be an honest person.”

Weeks earlier, Atletico rejected a 150 million euro ($171.41 million) offer from ‌Real Madrid for the 26-year-old forward, ​according to media reports. Spanish and Argentine media have also ⁠reported interest in the player’s services from Barcelona and PSG.

Alvarez, who joined ‌the La Liga club from Manchester City in 2024 for a fee reported by Spanish and English media to be 95 million euros, said his future remains undecided.

“It’s not known ‌when it will be resolved,” he told reporters ​at the Dallas stadium.

Reuters has contacted Atletico for comment.

The striker ⁠has been recovering from an ankle injury ⁠and has come off the bench in both of Argentina’s ‌matches at the World Cup.
