This summer, Julian Alvarez left Manchester City to join Atlético de Madrid. But many years before, the Argentinian wore the colors of…Real Madrid. The Iberian media Relevo reveals that the 2022 world champion participated in a tournament with the Merengues thirteen years ago. Aged 11 at the time, he was invited to the Spanish capital to do a test with Casa Blanca.
Accompanied by his father and an Argentinian recruiter who was in contact with Real Madrid, Alvarez spent 15 days with the Madrid team. He trained in Valdebebas and then participated in the tournament in Girona. He notably faced Betis and Barça and won the competition with the Merengues. Despite the Alvarez family’s desire to stay in Madrid, Real were unable to complete this matter at the time because it was minor and the club would have exposed themselves to sanctions. Relevo adds that the Argentinian and his relatives hoped to return to Madrid once he was older. A dream that they more or less realized, since he signed with the Colchoneros.
