After Robin Le Normand and Alexander Sørloth, the Colchonerons had launched their pursuit of Julian Alvarez (24 years old), the Argentinian striker from Manchester City. Despite competition from PSG and some English clubs, the Madrilenians were able to find the arguments to convince the player, and above all, a very big check, since he becomes the second most expensive player in the history of the Madrid club, after João Félix.
Manchester City did not intend to sell their young striker for less, and finally, a total agreement was reached between the cityzen club and Atlético de Madrid for a transfer worth 95 million euros (including bonuses). It also becomes the biggest sale of a Premier League club. There were still some final details to settle between Julian Alvarez and the Colchoneros to finalize the transaction, but it is now done.
The biggest sale in Premier League history
“Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City have reached an agreement for the transfer of Julián Alvarez, who will be with our club until 2030.

He is also capable of playing as a playmaker.”informs Atlético de Madrid in its press release, thus making official the arrival of the Argentinian international.
Although appreciated by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, Julian Alvarez remained blocked by the competition in attack and wanted to obtain more playing time. The Argentinian had publicly mentioned the possibility of leaving the Premier League at the start of the transfer window, while the Argentinian press explained that his entourage wanted to leave England for a warmer country. It will therefore be Spain and Madrid, where he will have the opportunity to fully shine.
