In the Champions League round of 16, "Atletico Madrid" hosted "Tottenham" and secured a confident 5:2 victory. In this match, Alvarez scored two goals, making a major contribution to his team's success. When journalists asked about his future after the game, the player avoided giving a clear answer.
"Various reports are spreading on social media. I feel good here and we are fighting for victory in all competitions. But no one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe I will stay, maybe not. For now, my full focus is on working on myself and helping the team," said the world champion.
According to reports, the "Barcelona" management sees Alvarez as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski. Also, English clubs "Arsenal" and "Chelsea" are closely monitoring the situation. Although "Atletico Madrid" president Enrique Cerezo emphasized that the player is not for sale and is an important part of Diego Simeone's project, the striker's recent statement has further fueled various rumors.
It is worth noting that for Alvarez, who has been struggling slightly with scoring since the beginning of 2026, the goals scored against "Tottenham" were crucial in restoring his confidence. He himself specifically noted that as a striker, he wants to help the team with goals and assists.
