Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez may have to acknowledge a past mistake.

During the off-season, the Argentine publicly spoke about his desire to leave the La Liga team and his love for Barcelona, but he may be left with nothing.

His transfer to the Catalan club has stalled, and other clubs are not interested in the valuable player's services.

According to Cadena SER journalist Pedro Fullano, Julian Alvarez will have to publicly apologize to the team in the locker room for his stated words.

It is reported that only in such a case will the sniper be able to wear Atletico's colors again.
