Updates on futures of Julian Alvarez at Manchester City

Manchester City is facing increasing transfer interest from La Liga giants Atlético Madrid for their versatile forward Julian Alvarez.

The recently-crowned Copa America champion has reportedly shown an interest in exploring new opportunities for increased game time, despite playing a key role in City’s recent successes.

Alvarez, who has been pivotal across various attacking positions, especially during the absences of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, is attracting attention from Atlético Madrid, with negotiations already underway according to journalist César Luis Merlo.

The 24-year-old Argentine is reportedly open to leaving the Etihad Stadium in search of a greater role in a starting lineup.

Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have also expressed interest in Alvarez, making the competition for his signature intense. However, with his participation in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris for Argentina, his season start for Manchester City will be delayed by six weeks.

This transfer interest comes on the back of Alvarez’s significant contributions to Argentina’s Copa America triumph, where his performances culminated in a final victory over Colombia. As the situation develops, City must navigate this crucial period to determine Alvarez’s future at the club.
