According to Tycsports, Atletico Madrid has informed Alvarez that he is to return to training on August 10.
After an exhausting season, Alvarez is finally getting some rest. This season, he played 57 games for Atletico Madrid and the Argentina national team, scoring 21 goals. After winning the 2026 World Cup runner-up with Argentina, the forward has started his vacation, but his holiday will not be too long, as Atletico Madrid has pressed him and set a return date.
Like his Argentine compatriots Musso, Molina, Giuliano, Almada, and Spanish players Marcos Llorente, Marc Pubill, Baena, and Grimaldo, Alvarez needs to rejoin Atletico Madrid training on August 10. Atletico Madrid does not want any surprises; they know that Barcelona is still interested in Alvarez and has informed the player and his team of this arrangement.
Alvarez's contract does not expire until mid-2030, and Diego Simeone has included him in next season's plans. However, the former River Plate forward's stay is not 100% certain, especially since Barcelona is still pushing to sign him. Previously, the Atletico Madrid management led by Cerezo had rejected Barcelona's "very good offer" of 100 million euros.
In any case, it will be difficult for any offer to come close to Atletico Madrid's asking price. Atletico Madrid has a tough stance and will only open the door for Alvarez to leave if the other party pays 500 million euros to activate the release clause. Atletico Madrid CEO Miguel Ángel Gil said: "I recently heard some remarks from President Laporta, who said that their offer is not unlimited, but our response is unlimited, and we do not want to transfer him. We did not accept the 100 million euro offer, nor will we accept 150 million euros or 200 million euros."
It is already known that Alvarez wants to fulfill his "dream" of playing for Barcelona, but in the Spanish capital, Atletico Madrid does not believe he will make a move that offends the club or resists. From the first day he joined, he has shown commitment and professionalism. Alvarez will try to leave the club in a good way, but for now, he will still wear Atletico Madrid's red and white jersey.

ATM should not force the player to stay if he wishes to go. This might disrupt the team's chemistry if the player chooses to drag this matter till the end. At the end they(ATM) may end collecting less than what Barca initially tabled. Once a player's mind is made up, he should be allowed to leave.
