Julian Alvarez has apologised to Atletico Madrid fans for his comments during the summer transfer saga, admitting he was wrong in both his choice of words and the timing.
The Argentine striker made the apology after scoring the winner in Atletico’s 1-0 victory over Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday.
“I wanted to apologise to our fans for my words during the World Cup. They were a mistake. Both the way I said them and the timing, it was a mistake from me, I am sorry,” Alvarez told Movistar.
The 26-year-old sparked controversy in June after comments about his future fuelled speculation linking him with Barcelona, with Atletico refusing to sanction his departure.
His remarks angered supporters, who later booed him during the club’s 2-2 draw against Villarreal in August.
Atletico coach Diego Simeone welcomed the apology, stressing the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions.
“I really value it when people apologise, because apologising isn’t easy,” Simeone said, as Alvarez looks to rebuild his relationship with supporters and turn attention back to his performances on the pitch.
