Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has played down any contract speculation surrounding Julian alvarez, insisting the Argentine forward remains fully focused and happy at the club.
Speaking ahead of their upcoming La Liga fixture against Betis, Simeone cut his usual composed figure when asked about alvarez's future. The 25-year-old forward, who joined Atletico from Manchester City last summer, has been one of the standout performers this season, justifying why former manager Pep Guardiola revealed he was too good for a secondary role, and now rumours about a new deal have already started flying around.
Softfootball understands that Simeone, however, didn't seem too interested in the noise and replied that he isnt bothered about the Argentines contract he is only happy that the player is happy, he was quoted by Fabrizio Romano in a post made via the sports analysts official X account.
