Manchester City to cash in big time with Julian Alvarez

Manchester City and Atletico Madrid have reached a monumental agreement for the transfer of Julian Alvarez, setting the stage for a record-breaking deal.

The two clubs finalized the details after a weekend of intense negotiations, culminating in a pact worth up to £81m (€95m), making it the highest sale in City’s history.

Atletico Madrid, keen to bolster their attacking lineup, has secured the Argentine forward for an initial fee of £64m (€75m), with an additional £17m (€20m) in potential add-ons. This deal not only marks a significant profit for Manchester City, who acquired Alvarez from River Plate for a mere £14m in January 2022, but also underscores the player’s meteoric rise in value.

The transfer is a testament to Alvarez’s impressive performances and development since joining the Premier League champions. For Atletico, this acquisition is a major coup, adding a versatile and dynamic player to their squad. However, there are still chances that this might come to bite the Cityzens back if they lose a very valuable player in Julian Alvarez.

In the absence of Julian Alvarez, the Argentine in his time with Manchester City has been nothing short of reliable. He has turned up in crucial matches to help the Cityzens cross the line or give the Sky Blues an option in the forward line.

Hence, it will be interesting to see who replaces Julian Alvarez at the Etihad.
