Manchester City demand £60 Million plus add-ons for forward
Chelsea’s pursuit of Julian Alvarez has hit a major hurdle as Manchester City have placed a hefty price tag on the Argentine forward.
According to recent reports, City are demanding £60 million for Alvarez, who has attracted significant interest this summer.
Despite a standout season, where he netted 19 goals and provided 13 assists in 54 appearances, Alvarez found himself sidelined during the final stretch of the Premier League campaign, starting none of City’s last four matches.
This lack of consistent game time has fueled speculation about his future. Alvarez is currently participating in the Paris Olympics with Argentina, but his frustrations at the Etihad could drive him towards a move.
Chelsea, under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, see Alvarez as a crucial addition to their attacking arsenal. However, City’s valuation could pose a significant obstacle.
The Premier League champions also seek around £17 million in potential add-ons, making the total deal quite steep.
Atlético Madrid, another interested party, is reportedly reluctant to meet City’s financial demands, further complicating the situation.
Alvarez still has four years left on his contract, and with Erling Haaland firmly entrenched as City’s first-choice striker, the 24-year-old’s role remains uncertain.
For Chelsea, securing Alvarez could be a game-changer, but only if they can navigate this high-stakes negotiation with Manchester City.
