Julian Alvarez
26-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Alvarez enjoyed an incredible first season with Los Colchoneros. The Argentinian forward notched 17 goals and four assists across 37 appearances (30 starts) in league play while also tallying 40 chances created and 50 corners taken. Even better, he didn't start taking corners until late November. Alvarez established himself as the go-to attacking weapon even though Alexander Sorloth was the leading scorer with 20 goals. Regardless of whether he plays alongside Antoine Griezmann or Sorloth, expect Alvarez to play a prominent role upfront with one of the highest ceilings in the league.
Trains in full Wednesday
Alvarez trained in full Wednesday as he is managing a minor ankle problem that is expected to clear up ahead of Argentina's World Cup opener against Algeria on June 16, with coach Lionel Scaloni confirming the issue is not a serious concern, the Argentina federation posted.
ANALYSIS
Alvarez ended a productive club campaign with 18 goals and eight assists across 44 appearances for Atletico Madrid and is expected to lead Argentina's attack throughout the tournament. Manager Scaloni will continue to monitor his condition over the coming days but the positive update suggests the striker will be fully available when the defending world champions begin their campaign.
