Argentina forward Julian Alvarez said on Monday that he wants to leave Atletico Madrid to "fulfil his ​dream" following reported interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona and ‌Paris Saint Germain.

"I spoke with people at the club (Atletico), with those I had to speak with, and the best ​thing for everyone is a transfer and ​I want to fulfil my dream," Alvarez said ⁠after Argentina's World Cup Group J win over Austria.

"It's not ​the time to talk about this, but I ​also can't hide it. I try to be an honest person."

Weeks earlier, Atletico rejected a 150m euro (USD171.41m) offer ​from Real Madrid for the 26-year-old forward, according ​to media reports.

Spanish and Argentine media have also reported interest ‌in ⁠the player's services from Barcelona and PSG.

Alvarez, who joined the LaLiga club from Manchester City in 2024 for a fee reported by Spanish and English ​media to ​be 95m ⁠euros, said that his future remains undecided.

"It's not known when it will be ​resolved," he told reporters at the Dallas ​stadium.

Reuters ⁠has contacted Atletico for comment.

The striker has been recovering from an ankle injury and has come off the ⁠bench ​in both of Argentina's matches ​at the World Cup.
