Before the window closes, Football Insider has been informed by sources that Manchester City is seeking a sum greater than £40 million for Julian Alvarez. If the team can raise the required minimum fee, they will be willing to allow the 24-year-old forward from Argentina depart this summer.
It has been openly acknowledged by Pep Guardiola that the World Cup winner may leave the Etihad before the August 31 deadline. After representing Argentina at the Olympics, Alvarez has stated he will make a decision about his future with the team.
It is thought that Alvarez’s personal circumstances are what led to this predicament, and he would like to leave the Premier League winners. Because the striker has a contract with Manchester City through 2028, the team will have the upper hand in negotiations.
Chelsea may jump at chance to sign key Man City talent
Alvarez’s situation at the Etihad may be keenly watched by other elite European clubs, but Chelsea, PSG, and Atletico Madrid are reportedly among the teams interested in signing him. After the Spain captain departed Real Madrid to join AC Milan before the 2024–2025 season, Atletico Madrid decided that Alvarez was their first pick to replace Alvaro Morata, according to ESPN.
Chelsea is in need of a forward as well, and the Manchester City player would be a fantastic fit for the Blues. Given the player’s talent, the positions he plays in, and his significance to the Premier League champion’s previous campaign, the London club would have no trouble matching City’s asking price of £40 million.
