Atletico can keep him around until 2030 expiry of contract. All they have to do is act professional on a player they paid 90m and pay salary. Nothing indicates they are going to soften their approach and concede on humanitarian grounds to sell a player to their rival club, whom they took to court previously with Griezmann.I still stand by it, if Alvarez continues like this, he will turn up here sooner than later. Atletico can't keep him in the team long-term like this and they can't also punish him, if he doesn't break the rules. The pressure on Marin to keep his ego in check will grow daily. We can't forget, it's not Atletico holding him, it's just the ego of Gil Moron.
Alvarez decides to walk out of his contract with Atletico - then he owes the club whatever the Spanish judge rules in "damages".
Why Verratti backed off and fired his agent - he saw the implications of acting unprofessional and how detrimental it would be to his career, at prime.
