After rejecting Real Madrid’s €150M offer for Julian Alvarez, Atletico Madrid issued a harsh response, writing “you make us laugh even more than Barcelona.” Julián Álvarez has officially become the man of the hour after Real Madrid shocked the soccer world by releasing an official statement confirming a massive €150 million bid for his services. Just minutes after the announcement dropped, Atlético Madrid fired back with a brutally candid response to their cross-town rivals, stating, “you make us laugh even more than Barcelona.”
In the official press release dropped on Sunday, Real Madrid stated that “following the meeting of the Board of Directors held today, an offer of 150 million euros has been submitted to Club Atlético de Madrid for the transfer rights of player Julián Álvarez.” While the transaction would shatter Real Madrid’s signing records and mark a historic sale for Atlético, the Colchoneros instantly dismissed the approach in spectacular fashion.
Wasting no time, Atlético Madrid issued a blunt, point-by-point rebuttal to their neighbors’ public pursuit: “Official statement with our clarifications regarding the official statement of our neighbors Real Madrid:
Your video of the Pope cut off right where he said he was also an Atleti fan.You must have confused politeness with gratitude, but just so there is no doubt: we are not thanking you for anything.We are neither studying nor considering any offer for Julian.How could we not get along, when you make us laugh even more than FC Barcelona.“
Comunicado oficial con nuestras aclaraciones sobre el comunicado oficial de nuestros vecinos @realmadrid:1. Se os cortó el vídeo del Papa donde decía que también era del Atleti.2. Habréis confundido la educación con agradecimiento, pero para que no haya dudas: no os agradecemos…— Atlético de Madrid (@Atleti) June 9, 2026
