Liverpool not bidding for Julian Alvarez, thriving at Atletico

Liverpool will not make a bid for Julian Alvarez, who is currently playing well at Atletico Madrid. The team is aware of Alvarez's talent but has not pursued a deal since his transfer from Manchester City last summer. Alvarez joined Atletico for £82 million after scoring 36 goals in 103 games for City. He has been a part of several title-winning teams but was not always the main striker due to the presence of Erling Haaland. This season, the 25-year-old is excelling at Atletico, netting 23 goals and providing five assists in 44 matches. There have been rumors about Liverpool's interest in him, especially amid potential departures of their own striker, Darwin Nunez. Despite previous interest, Liverpool has not made an official approach for Alvarez. The club is also considering other options for the striker role, including Alexander Isak and Joao Pedro. Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, has no plans to sell Alvarez. They would only consider offers that are double what they paid City, which would total around €200 million. This amount would break Liverpool's transfer record. Alvarez is happy in Madrid and is considered a key player by Atletico. The club's sporting director has denied any claims of Liverpool making an offer, emphasizing that Alvarez is not focused on the rumors.
