Diego Simeone's side have secured the services of the FIFA World Cup 2022 winner for an astonishing 95 million Euros. However, given the potential and resume of Julian Alvarez at such a tender age of 24, the amount seems to be a bargain, as 'La Arana' has already won every possible trophy at club and international level, and is destined for greatness.

Atletico Madrid's Busy Summer Transfer Window 2024

Julian Alvarez now becomes the second striker to sign for the 'Rojablancos' this summer, as he now joins Alexander Sorloth (from Villarreal) at the club. The deal of Julain Alvarez sees a hybrid of initial payment + add-ons, as Atletico Madrid have paid Manchester City 75 million Euros up front, and rest 20 will be paid via add-ons, depending upon the terms and conditions mentioned in the contract.

Diego Simeone's side will be looking to get back to winning ways in the league, as they are doing a complete overhaul this transfer window. La Liga drought now stretches to 3 seasons and into it's 4th season, club has off-loaded players that are surplus to demands, which includes veteran strikers such as Alvaro Morata, who recently won Euro 2024 as captain of Spain; and Memphis Depay.
