Real Madrid have announced they had a €150m bid for Julian Alvarez rejected by Atletico Madrid.
Los Blancos president Florentino Perez revealed last week the club would bid €150m for a 'Galactico' level star, who many assumed to be Bayern Munich's Michael Olise at the time.
Alvarez has been linked with Madrid's Clasico rivals Barcelona this summer, with Arsenal also reported to have an interest in the Argentina international.
The 26-year-old directly contributed to 29 goals (20 goals, nine assists) in 49 games for Atleti in 2025-26 (not including the Club World Cup), the fifth-most among LaLiga players.
Real Madrid released a statement on Tuesday which read: "Real Madrid C.F. announces that, following the meeting of the Board of Directors held today, it has made an offer of 150 million euros to Club Atletico de Madrid for the federative rights of the player Julian Alvarez.
"After reviewing and evaluating the offer, Club Atletico de Madrid has expressed its gratitude for the proposal, made within the framework of the good relations between both clubs, and has rejected it, referring to the player's release clause."
Alvarez is reported to have a €500m release clause in his contract, though it is said to be lower for clubs in the Champions League.
The former Manchester City forward scored 10 goals and provided four assists in the Champions League last season as Atleti reached the semi-finals of the competition.
Only Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (all 16) directly contributed to more goals in the Champions League last season than Alvarez.
Alvarez is reportedly seeking a move away from the Metropolitano this summer, though Atleti are holding their ground around a deal for the striker.

Madrid shouldn't make the mistake of buying Avarez. 49 goals out of 106 matches isn't enough. Madrid should rely on Endrick, who scored 15 goals in 20 matches at Lyon at age 19. He will be better than Avarez if Madrid gives him more playing time, and Endrick will score more goals even than Mbappe.

I can assure you that Perez knows it won't work even before making that promise. He used it to win election and that's the reason he didn't mention name because if he does, no one will believe him especially because of the embargo existing btw the 2 clubs

Alvarez is the hotest player in the market this transfer market. I believe he prefers Barca to RM. Atletico though clearly aren't willing to sell him especially to their La Liga opponents.

You are absolutely right. Real Madrid has now forced Barcelona to back off
Says who??? All of you just making sh** up. "Mind game this, mind game that." If the player wants leave for barça, he eventually will. Just a matter of what he truly after

It's a mind game Perez is playing. Perez the legend knows very well what he is doing. Just increasing the market value of Alvarez by bidding that much of huge money so that ATM can demand more than 120mn from Barca and obviously Barca would be in trouble for sure [Crylaugh]
barca is really giving u guys sleepless night

bidding €150m for a rival star player you know it's impossible to get just to increased his market value in case FCB comes knocking..... if you can't get him , don't let your rival/challengers get him.....

Welldone, atletico...show them who's boss. Madrid and their fans won't be humble enough to admit they don't own football-but that's the truth.
I can feel your anger has your players wants to play for barca or real madrid and if they calm they would come running from Chelsea to barca or Madrid because it’s a dream club and Chelsea is just a stepping stone in their career.

As a madrid fan I don't think u we need a player like alvarez because we already have mhbape, why can't we go for a right winger knowing we'll that rodrigo is currently injured
you think the team don't need a proper number 9?.

mark my words, if he stays at atletico then atletico will lose 120 million on him in the next 2 years.
