Fans on social media deemed Emilia Ferrero rude to children and collected signatures on an online petition asking him to break up with her.
Alvarez’s popularity soared during the World Cup after he was in the spotlight for the first time after moving from River Plate to City to become the best deal for the Argentine club in 10 years, then shine with the national team in the 2022 World Cup.
He scored 4 goals in Qatar and his chemistry with Messi and former River Plate teammate Enzo Fernandez was key in keeping him in the starting lineup.
And with all these successes comes great popularity, especially in Argentina, which has had to wait more than 30 years to lift the World Cup for the third time.
The petition has been uploaded to Change.org and may soon reach 10,000 signatures, in which fans ask Julian Alvarez to break up with Emilia Ferrero for being a “toxic” character, as it ruins the player’s relationship with fans.
