Julián Alvarez seeks new agent amid transfer uncertainty

Julián Alvarez is reportedly preparing to replace his long-time agent, Fernando Hidalgo, following a contentious summer transfer window. The move comes after a failed attempt to facilitate a transfer to FC Barcelona, a saga that reportedly damaged Hidalgo’s reputation and strained relations with Alvarez’s current club, Atlético de Madrid.

Alvarez’s father, Gustavo, is leading the search for new representation. Negotiations with Javier Pastore, who represents Enzo Fernández, are said to be in an advanced stage. The change in representation is expected to help mend ties with Atlético de Madrid, where the 26-year-old forward has faced friction following his public transfer demands.

In addition to the agency shift, Alvarez’s future at Atlético de Madrid remains uncertain. Reports suggest the Argentina international is keen to leave the club in January. This has sparked interest from Arsenal, who have long admired the forward and may view him as a key target to strengthen their attacking options for the Champions League.
