Fans on social media deemed Emilia Ferrero to be rude to children and have collected signatures on an online petition calling for him to break up with her.
Alvarez’s popularity increased a lot during the World Cup following he was in the limelight for the first time following moving from River Plate to City to become the best deal for the Argentine club in 10 years, and 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 team mate Enzo Fernandez was key in keeping him in the starting line-up.
And with all these achievements comes great popularity, especially in Argentina, which 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 might reach 10,000 signatures soon. In the petition, fans are asking Julian Alvarez to break up with Emilia Ferrero for being a “toxic” character, as she spoils the player’s relationship with fans.
