Recently, Atletico Madrid chairman Cerrezzo talked about the team's future at the event. He hoped that Alvarez could stay at Atletico Madrid for a long time and extend the loan to Lenglet.

When asked about Barcelona president Laporta's interest in Alvarez, Cerezo said he was looking forward to seeing him wear a red and white jersey for many years: "Alvarez is an Atletico player, he is very happy at Atletico. I believe he will always be our player, grow up and live a lifetime. I also like Yamal, we have the same taste."

In addition, Cerezo also talked about Lenglet from Barcelona and suggested that it is possible to extend his lease: "We only loaned him for one season, but I think there will be some agreements for him to stay here."

Regarding the third place results, Cerezo believed: "The team should have achieved better results, but we lost opportunities in two or three games. Sometimes we were not lucky, but we ended up with third place, cup semi-finals and in the Champions League. Wrong performance. ”

Regarding the possible introduction of Nunes, Cerrezo said: “Now everything is just speculation or reality. I do like him very much, but maybe I won’t like him in two months. When everything is settled, it’s time to talk about it again. At present, it’s just speculation.”

Speaking of the team’s future plans (line-up adjustment), Cerrezo said: “The technical team has been working for a while and they will know what to do. Alvarez signed a long-term contract with Atletico Madrid, which is almost impossible to leave at this time.”

"Last year we signed many excellent players. Maybe Yamal joins Atletico Madrid is more likely than Alvarez to switch to Barcelona. I hope there are the best players in my team. Now we still have the Club World Cup to fight for, and this is a chance to make up for regrets.”
