Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club, with Atletico Madrid keen.
Atletico Madrid are keen on signing Julian Alvarez this summer, and they will face competition from PSG. However, German Garcia Grova has revealed that the Manchester City attacker prefers the move to La Liga instead of France. The development will come as a major boost for Atletico Madrid as they look to sign the player.
Meanwhile, reputed Argentine journalist Cesar Luis Merlo has revealed that talks are currently advancing between Manchester City and the Spanish club. It will be interesting to see if they can secure an agreement.
The 24-year-old Argentine international has proven himself to be a solid acquisition for the Premier League club, and he has won multiple trophies with them already. Even though Julian Alvarez is not a regular starter for them his end product has been exceptional.
The World Cup and Copa America winner could be a quality player for Atletico Madrid as they look to bring in a reliable striker. The Argentine international is still only 24, and he is likely to improve with coaching and experience. Regular football will accelerate is development as well. Perhaps that is why he is unhappy at Manchester City.
Alvarez could transform Atletico Madrid
The Argentine international helped his country win the Copa America earlier this summer and he scored 19 goals and picked up 13 assists with Manchester City last season. He is capable of operating as a centre forward as well as a winger. Alvarez’s versatility will be an added bonus.
Julian Alvarez needs to play regularly at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench at Manchester City is unlikely to benefit him. He is a backup option to Erling Haaland at the Premier league club, and this is the right time for him to move on and join a club where he will be the main man.
Atletico Madrid could provide him with the platform to showcase his abilities at a high-level, and regular football will help him fulfil his potential as well. It will be interesting to see if a Atletico Madrid can beat PSG in the race to sign the player now. The French outfit certainly have more financial resources compared to Atletico Madrid, and they will be desperate to bring in a quality goalscorer after the departure of Kylian Mbappe.
