Julian Alvarez<\/a> was met with a chorus of jeers by aggrieved fans on his return to Atletico Madrid<\/a> amid his attempts to force a move away from the club.<\/p>\n

The Argentinian wants to leave the Spanish capital this summer and his been heavily linked with a move to Premier League<\/a> champions Arsenal<\/a>, as well as Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Atletico, however, continue to insist he is not for sale, with friction growing between player and club.<\/p>\n

All eyes were on Atletico\u2019s team sheet to face Villarreal<\/a> on Sunday to see whether Alvarez would be involved as the club played their first home match of the season.<\/p>\n

And while the 26-year-old was named on the bench, this did not mean things had been smoothed over – especially with the Atletico faithful, who sent him a brutal message as soon as he stepped onto the turf.<\/p>\n

After being jeered during his warm-up, Alvarez was subjected to deafening whistles by the home supporters as he was brought onto the pitch in the 66th minute.<\/p>\n

Seemingly furious with the reception he was given, Alvarez ditched the rest of his team-mates at full-time who were thanking the fans, instead walking straight down the tunnel to more jeers.<\/p>\n

Alvarez came on after Villarreal had equalised from the spot, with Gerard Moreno cancelling out Marc Pubill\u2019s opener close to the hour mark.<\/p>\n

Another penalty from Georges Mikautadze put the visitors on course for victory before Alvarez\u2019s countryman Giuliano Simeone came to the rescue five minutes from time, with the match ending as a 2-2 draw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75202,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[9277,82,9278],"class_list":["post-75201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-madrid","tag-bestof","tag-madrid","tag-topix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
