From our football correspondent Uneasy

Julián Álvarez puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Atlético Madrid, and it is not being withdrawn.

A one-man rearguard from Jan Oblak

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market31 Aug 2026

Andorra come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Atlético Madrid did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Atlético Madrid

Pablo Barrios was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A masterclass from Alexander Sørloth

Marked 8.35 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match29 Aug 2026

Atlético Madrid and Real Sociedad take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Alexander Sørloth is off the mark for Atlético Madrid

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

The one thing Álex Baena could not do

Shots: 10, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

The Marcos Llorente story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Marcos Llorente signs something — a contract at Atlético Madrid or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market3 Aug 2026

Julián Álvarez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Atlético Madrid can pretend not to have heard.

Market3 Aug 2026

Jan Oblak wants more than Atlético Madrid are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Alejandro Grimaldo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Alejandro Grimaldo commits to Atlético Madrid for another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Julián Álvarez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Atlético Madrid this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Eyes on Horaţiu Moldovan again

The phone has started ringing about Horaţiu Moldovan again, and this time the name on the line is Albacete. Atlético Madrid are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Atlético Madrid has picked up the phone to Alejandro Grimaldo

36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.
