Meanwhile, Alvarez’s agent Fernando Hidalgo recently revealed that Liverpool had been keen on the Argentine since last summer before he decided to move from Man City to Atletico Madrid for £80 million (approximately 3,440 million baht).
However, Bucero said: “The rumor that Liverpool have made an official offer to sign our player Julian Alvarez is not true. It’s just a rumor.”
“Alvarez is an important player in our project and we have no intention of letting him go, while the player himself is not interested in these rumors,” the Atletico sporting director concluded.
