Manchester City Star And Argentina World Cup winner Julian Alvarez will become the most HATED player after he’s set to complete shocking transfer to Premier League Rivals
According to rumors in Spain, Chelsea is considering a move for Argentine attacker Julian Alvarez, although Manchester City has previously turned down a proposal from Atletico Madrid.
Alvarez recently concluded his second season at City, where he scored 19 goals to help Pep Guardiola’s team win the Premier League for the first time ever.
The 24-year-old was the eighth-highest outfield City player in terms of minutes played during the season, having made 54 appearances across all competitions.
However, Marca claims that Alvarez is thinking about making a move to increase his profile because he knows he will always trail Erling Haaland at City.
According to the source, Atletico has already approached City on the possibilities of a trade for Alvarez, but the Premier League winners have “flatly denied” the move.
Atletico would not be able to afford a minimum price of €80 million (£67.9 million) before add-ons, even if City were to consider selling.
Alvarez still has three years left on his deal after first joining City in 2022 for a £14 million price from River Plate.
Chelsea is reportedly plotting their own move for Alvarez, so the city’s tough position does not seem good for them.
The Chelsea management has a good working connection with City, having brought in Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling recently, while Mateo Kovacic moved from Stamford Bridge to the Etihad Stadium in the summer of last year.
However, they will have a tough time persuading City to allow Alvarez to depart considering his demonstrated adaptability and goal-scoring prowess since entering the Premier League.
In an effort to replace Kylian Mbappe, who has joined Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain has also indicated interest in acquiring Alvarez prior to the start of the upcoming campaign.
Victor Osimhen is a Nigerian international whose release clause is worth €130 million (£110.8 million), and PSG has contemplated a bid for him. However, Napoli is requesting that the transfer.
