“I never said anything wrong all I needed at Manchester City was more playing time” – Julian Alvarez responds to Pep Guardiola’s latest comments on his Manchester City future
Julian Alvarez, the Manchester City striker, has responded to Pep Guardiola’s most recent remarks during a recent press conference, as the player’s future remains uncertain.
The head coach of the Etihad Stadium was questioned regarding Alvarez’s initial remarks regarding his future at Manchester City, as there is increasing uncertainty regarding his future at the club for the upcoming season, and Atletico Madrid is expressing a growing interest in him.
The 24-year-old acknowledged that he was cognizant of his top-level minutes for the club last season, but he felt that he should have been included in some of the more significant matches. He expressed disappointment in being overlooked by his coach, given his goal-scoring performance.
Alvarez disclosed that he will contemplate his club future after the conclusion of the Olympic Games in Paris this summer. Pep Guardiola responded to this revelation during his own press conference on Monday night, stating, “I am aware that he desires to participate in significant moments, but the other players also.”
“We have 18 to 19 athletes who are interested in participating in the significant events.” I have read that he is required to contemplate the matter. Therefore, I will allow him to do so and he will subsequently inform us of his intentions.
After Argentina’s 0-2 victory over Ukraine at the Olympic Games on Tuesday afternoon, Julian Alvarez was asked by TV Publica whether he had heard Pep Guardiola’s most recent response to his initial comments regarding his future at Manchester City.
“Certainly, I was aware of Pep Guardiola’s statement.” Alvarez stated, “I have little to say.” “I have never made any erroneous statements.” I have consistently maintained that I am exceedingly content and at ease at Manchester City.
He continued, “It was merely an examination of the previous season and an assessment of what may occur in the future.” That concludes the matter.
“That is what I intended when I mentioned that I would contemplate it, as we always do each year.” Therefore, that concludes the matter.
Currently, it is uncertain whether Atletico Madrid will bolster their own interest in the former River Plate frontman. Manchester City is considering an initial transfer fee of approximately €70 million, with an additional €20 million in add-ons.
There is a possibility that City officials may demand the inclusion of favorable clauses in an agreement, such as a buy-back or sell-on percentage, in order to further complicate any negotiations with Atletico Madrid, as has been observed in numerous other Etihad outgoings.
It is probable that Manchester City will employ the transfer market to locate an appropriate successor for Julian Alvarez should they be able to reach an agreement with the team from the Spanish capital.
