It was the hot topic of the last few days at Manchester City. Having arrived in the English squad in the summer of 2022, Julian Alvarez very quickly showed what he was capable of.
However, despite some great performances, he never managed to make it into Pep Guardiola’s starting 11, who preferred the Norwegian Erling Haaland.
This is why the Argentine world champion has decided to set sail and find a new challenge. The 24-year-old striker will officially sign with Atletico Madrid in the coming hours for the sum of 95 million euros.
Even though he wanted to keep him in his squad, Pep Guardiola did not fail to salute his future ex-player. “He wanted to leave and Atletico Madrid is a top club, so it’s ok. I wish him luck, we loved him, we won everything together,” he said in comments reported by
The Athletic.
Become one of the best strikers in the world
Julian Alvarez will therefore leave Manchester City to join Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid. The Argentinian wanted to have a much more important role and this with a European big name. At the Colchoneros, he will be the star of the attack alongside Antoine Griezmann.
His goal will be to continue winning titles but above all to become one of the best attackers on the Old Continent like Erling Haaland, his main competitor at Man City.
