Jose Mourinho admits football will miss Lionel Messi and discusses Julian Alvarez’s Atletico Madrid situation
Shifting his focus to current domestic matters, Mourinho was also asked about Julian Alvarez and his failed summer move to Barcelona from Atletico Madrid. The Real Madrid boss refused to be drawn into speculation, emphasizing that Atletico manager Diego Simeone holds complete authority over the club’s internal matters. Mourinho laid down a pragmatic rule regarding player commitment now that the transfer window has officially slammed shut.
“My feeling is that, starting from yesterday and at least until December 31, he will be an important player for his club,” Mourinho noted regarding Alvarez’s immediate future.
