Real Madrid made the offer of the year! Florentino Perez put 150 million euros on the table for the superstar of the rival » He also received the answer

The move comes shortly after Real Madrid's presidential election, when Florentino Perez had promised to try to land a top player in the biggest bid ever made by the club.

UPDATE // Atletico Madrid's acid response after the offer of 150 million for Julian Alvarez

Just minutes after Real Madrid officially announced that they have submitted a €150m bid for Julian Alvarez, rivals Atletico Madrid have reacted in a tongue-in-cheek way, with several laughing emoticons followed by a harsh message to the 'galacticos'.

1. You cut the video of the Pope saying that he is also an Atleti fan.
2. You've confused ethics with gratitude, but just to be clear: we're not thanking you for anything.
3. We do not review or consider any offers for Julian.
4. How can we not get along, when you make us laugh even more than Barcelona

Atletico Madrid is asking for 500 million euros

According to information appearing in Spain, Atletico Madrid has no intention of negotiating the departure of the Argentine forward. The leadership of the formation prepared by Diego Simeone has conveyed to the rivals that the only option by which Julian Alvarez can leave is to activate the termination clause, worth 500 million euros.

Thus, the offer of 150 million euros was rejected without further negotiations.

Julian Alvarez is one of the most courted footballers in Europe. In recent months, Barcelona have also shown interest in the Argentina world champion, but a bid of around €100 million was rejected by Atletico Madrid.

Furthermore, rojiblanco club officials have publicly accused Barcelona of trying to persuade the player to force a transfer in the past.
