Chelsea are reportedly prepared to make an offer for Manchester City star Julian Alvarez amid reports of an impasse in contract talks.
According to HITC, Julian Alvarez’s indecisiveness about his immediate future at Manchester City could open the doors for Chelsea to propose a deal. The Blues and other clubs might see the 24-year-old Manchester City star’s contract impasse as a significant market opportunity.
Chelsea to make Julian Alvarez bid?
Speaking of top clubs in the Premier League, each one is keen to bring in a marquee signing, but there are many factors involved. A top-name signing may come on as a market opportunity or a concerted pursuit, which, in Chelsea’s case, might be the former.
Julian Alvarez might be the player Chelsea brings in as their marquee signing this summer, provided things go according to plan. The Argentine World Cup and Copa America champion seems disgruntled by a ‘lack of game time’ in the Champions League and has not responded well to the idea signing a new contract.
He was planning to hold talks with Manchester City, which may commence once he returns from his holidays. There’s a feeling the 24-year-old Manchester City star wants a starring role in the centre-forward role, which may not be possible under Pep Guardiola with Erling Haaland in the squad.
Chelsea are prepared to make an offer to test Manchester City’s resolve and find out whether the player wants the move. Alvarez might prefer a mover to Real Madrid, which may not look to invest heavily in another forward after Kylian Mbappe’s ‘free transfer’ this summer.
Will Manchester City sell Alvarez?
Chelsea have shown interest since rumours of Alvarez’s unhappiness at Manchester City emerged earlier in June. The player does fit their new transfer policy. However, he will cost a considerable sum, as the Cityzens are in a position of power should negotiations begin between the two clubs.
Alvarez is unlikely to leave Manchester City as things stand, as the club will not entertain offers of any kind for the Argentine star. The attacker still has four years to run on his deal, which may not play in his power to force a potential move out of the club, and he might have to concede defeat to sign a new deal eventually.
