Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months, with Real Madrid interested in him.
A report from Defensa Central has claimed that Real Madrid are keen on Julian Alvarez, and the 23-year-old is ready to join the Spanish club.
Barcelona are keen on the player as well. Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see if Manchester City sanction his departure in the coming months. The Premier League giants are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they do not need money from player sales.
They will not want to lose a talented young player like him anytime soon. Alvarez has been a key player for Manchester City since joining the club. He was a key member of the Argentine national team that won the World Cup last year as well.
Alvarez is still only 23, and he is likely to improve further with coaching and experience. He has all the attributes to develop into a world-class player in the near future. Real Madrid could certainly use a quality striker like him, especially after the departure of Karim Benzema. He could be the ideal long-term replacement for the French international.
Alvarez scored 17 goals for Manchester City across all competitions last season despite not playing regularly. If Real Madrid can promise him regular game time, the striker could be attracted to the idea of playing for them. In addition to that, Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down for any player.
Moving to the Spanish club would be a major step up in the player’s career, and he would get to test himself at the highest level. Although Manchester City are one of the best clubs in the world, Real Madrid’s ability to attract top players could prove to be decisive in the transfer saga.
With Erling Haaland at the club, Manchester City will not be able to offer him regular game time as the striker, and Real Madrid should look to take advantage of the situation and sign the player in the coming months.
