Alvarez may be proven, but I don’t find the “proof” very appealing. 

He isn’t someone who’s going to lead a line, and consistently give you world class output. He’s always been a player who works best alongside another striker, a pretty classic second striker. 

It’s obvious with how passively he attacks the box. More reliant on his ball-striking than instinct. Which is fine, great even (for Atleti), but not exactly a 120m+ profile. 

And best believe, Atleti will not let him go.
