Real Madrid €150m bid for Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez rejected

Real Madrid submitted a €150 million bid for Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez, which was rejected by the Spanish rivals. Atletico Madrid turned down the offer, pointing to the Argentine international's substantial €500 million release clause as justification. The significant gap between Real Madrid's bid and the release clause amount indicates Atletico have no intention of selling the player below his contractual terms.
