Julián Álvarez ends partnership with agent after failed Barcelona transfer
Argentine forward Julián Álvarez has ended his nearly decade-long professional relationship with agent Fernando Hidalgo. The decision follows a turbulent summer transfer window in which Álvarez’s attempted move from Atlético de Madrid to FC Barcelona failed to materialize.
Reports indicate the breakdown in trust stems from the unsuccessful negotiations for the Barcelona transfer. Atlético de Madrid management had previously expressed dissatisfaction with the handling of the player's future, with CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín accusing the previous representation of misleading the player.
Álvarez is now seeking new representation to manage his career and future negotiations. Potential candidates for his new agency include Javier Pastore, an Argentine former player, and Pablo Barquero, who represents Rodri Hernández. Amidst these changes, rumors persist regarding Álvarez's future, with some reports suggesting interest from Arsenal for a potential move in the January transfer window.
