This was discovered by his associate, Alex Baena, in an interview for Spanish radio é cadena SERU.

The Argentinian striker had declared in June that he had talked to the club’s leaders about his future and that the best of all would be a transfer because he wanted to make a dream of him.

His statement sparked numerous speculations about a possible transition to Barcelona. In August, the president of the Catalonas club, Joan Laporta, confirmed the interest for Alvarez, but Atletico refused to sell the footballer.

Baa has acknowledged that the way the Argentinian had dealt with the matter had caused dissatisfaction among his associates.

It’s kind of weird when a fellow player publicly says he wants to leave. We didn’t like that very much. I can see that a footballer has doubts about it when he’s interested in a club like Barcelona or Real Madrid, but what we were worried about in Atletico was the way he handled this case, Baa has declared.

Alvarez apologised in October to the fans of Atletico Madrid for his statements. Although his roar at the Metropolitan Stadium has softened, some fans continue to express dissatisfaction.

Yet, Baa has stressed that the team will support the Argentinean despite what had happened.

We would have supported him no matter what he decided. The important thing is that he is with us now and we have to show him all the support and love possible, the Spanish midfielder said.

Coach Diego Simeone has also expressed confidence in the Argentinan assailant, saying the club will expect his return in better shape, as it is a great footballer and they want him on the team.

Meanwhile, Barcelona’s sports director, Deco, had confirmed in September that the Katalunas club had made an offer for Alvarez during the summer, but had stressed that this issue already belongs to the past.
