The €150 million player Florentino Perez promised finally has a name: Julian Alvarez, from Real Madrid's eternal rival.

Everything seems to indicate that the mysterious €150 million player that Florentino Perez mentioned during his candidacy for the presidency is Julian Alvarez. The Real Madrid president plans to make an offer this Tuesday for one of the best center-forwards currently on the market. Without a doubt, the largest amount of money that the merengue club has put on the table for any player.

Names such as Joao Neves and Vitinha from Paris Saint-Germain, or Michael Olise from Bayern Munich, were mentioned. However, Julian's name began to gain a lot of strength in recent hours. Several sources indicate that Florentino personally wants to sign the Atletico Madrid forward, thus dismissing all the rumors that placed Premier League or Bundesliga players at the Bernabeu. Few expected the famous player to come from LaLiga.

The president himself acknowledged in the interview on Horizonte that it is an offensive player and that he would try to sign him with the best offer Real Madrid has made in its history. However, he did not assure his arrival.

"Olise is a great player, but it is not Olise. It is not Doku either... We are going to make a significant offer, around €150 million at least. The thing is that he should be from midfield upwards. And it is not Haaland. And he is not from the Premier League. And the first thing we will do is talk to the club. It is a signing to generate excitement, because that is what it is about, generating excitement," Florentino said.

Let us remember that in recent weeks the Argentine forward tried to move to Barcelona, but the negotiations became too complicated, because Atletico is demanding €150 million, while the Catalan club has only offered €100 million. This has caused everything to stall. However, Atletico fans are not happy at all with the player and his clear desire to leave the club.

Now the question is: How would the fans take his possible sale to Real Madrid? From what was mentioned above, we can understand that the merengue club is willing to offer the €150 million that Atletico Madrid demands, but selling their biggest star to the neighbor and eternal rival sounds unlikely.

Being Real Madrid, it is no longer a matter of money but of dignity. Atletico would prefer a thousand times to sell him to Arsenal, PSG, or, in the worst case, to Barcelona, but never to their historic rival. Or would they?
