Fernando Hidalgo, the agent of Julian Alvarez, has dismissed rumors regarding Real Madrid’s interest in the Atletico Madrid forward, stating that there has been no contact between the club and his camp regarding a potential transfer this summer.

The future of the Argentine international has generated considerable speculation, particularly with Barcelona reportedly keen on signing him. Recent reports have suggested that Real Madrid is also contemplating a significant move for Alvarez.

However, Hidalgo clarified the situation, telling Mundo Deportivo, “We have no information on the matter and no one has contacted us about it.”.

In related news, Florentino Perez was re-elected as president of Real Madrid and has committed to making a major attacking signing this summer.

Agent Downplays Transfer Speculation

On a Spanish television program called Horizonte, Hidalgo teased upcoming developments: “I have some news for you. On Tuesday or so, I’m going to make an offer to a major Champions League club for a great player. It would be the largest transfer fee Real Madrid has ever paid in its history.”.

Names such as Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane and Michael Olise, along with Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland, have been floated as potential targets. However, Perez emphasized that none of these players are on his radar.

“Olise is a great player but it’s not Olise,” Perez stated. “It’s not Doku either. We’re going to make a significant offer, at least around €150m (£130m).”.

Perez further elaborated that the target needs to be a midfielder capable of advancing play and confirmed that it is not Haaland. He indicated that the player will not come from the Premier League and mentioned that initial discussions will occur with the respective club.

“It’s a signing meant to generate excitement because that’s what it’s all about, generating excitement,” he added.

The Mystery Player Linked to Perez

The identity of this mystery player remains unconfirmed, although recent reports suggest it could be Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Paris Saint-Germain. The 25-year-old played a pivotal role in PSG securing their second Champions League title during the 2025-26 season and is widely regarded as one of the top attacking talents globally.

Alvarez himself is a World Cup winner who has thrived since joining Atletico from Manchester City in the summer of 2024, netting 49 goals and providing 17 assists across 106 appearances. In the latest season, he scored 20 goals and assisted nine times in 49 matches for Atletico, solidifying his status as one of football’s premier attacking talents.

A high-profile transfer could materialize this summer if Real Madrid successfully acquires him from their city rivals.
