MARCA and journalist Gastón Edul have confirmed that, after a drawn-out transfer saga, Julián Álvarez will remain at Atlético Madrid until at least January. The Argentina international has already returned to training, where Cuti Romero, Giuliano Simeone and goalkeeper Musso have voiced their support for him. His future remains unclear. Analysts see this stage not as a full stop but as an "end, for now". It is a temporary truce that gives the Madrid giants only a short-term horizon, with the real finale of the transfer drama still to come.
