According to Mundo Deportivo, Álvarez wants to leave Atlético Madrid, and the club is once again facing a situation where a high-profile player seeks to depart.
With the Álvarez situation, Atlético Madrid faces another case of a talented and highly talked-about player wanting to leave the red-and-white team. This is not the first time it has happened. Other top-level forwards have previously pushed for their departure even while still belonging to a team competing for major titles.
