It has been a long time since there has been such uncertainty at the Etihad as this summer. There is speculation about Kevin de Bruyne’s potential departure, the story of Bernardo Silva’s move to Barcelona is always current, and Saudi giants Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad have let go of Ederson. However, Julian Alvarez is currently the biggest headache for Manchester City’s leaders.According to El Chiringuito, the Argentinian striker refused to sign a new contract with the English champion, informing him that he wants to leave the club this summer, and now there is new information that Atletico Madrid have started hunting for the Spider!One of the more reliable Argentine journalists, Cesar Luis Merlo, claims that the Mattress Makers have taken the first step towards signing the 24-year-old striker by starting negotiations with Manchester City.##NAJAVA_MECA_8221835##The Madrid club parted ways with Memphis Depay this summer, and since Diego Simeone does not count on Joao Felix, who returned from a loan from Barcelona, the purchase of a new center forward became one of the priorities at the Metropolitan. And Alvaro Morata’s sudden decision to accept AC Milan’s offer only made the leaders of the Metropolitano club accelerate.In previous weeks, Atlético have been linked with Artem Dovbyk, Santiago Jimenez and Alexander Sorloth, however, we would agree that Alvarez is a class above the aforementioned forwards. And that is why the Argentinian expressed his desire to confirm that class week in and week out, for which he did not get the opportunity at the Etihad.At the start of the season, Alvarez was a regular in Manchester City’s starting line-up, but in the finish, when the title was decided, he had a minimal role. In the last four Premier League games, he played a total of 17 minutes (the last one he sat on the bench), while in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, he spent just over half an hour on the field…🚨🇺🇦🇦🇷 JUST IN: Atlético Madrid’s roadmap involves signing a ‘9’ first, with Artem Dovbyk in pole position, and then going all out for Julian Alvarez.[🥇: @JaviGomara, @mundodeportivo] pic.twitter.com/GChSirHhnc— Atletico Universe (@atletiuniverse) July 17, 2024 He thinks he deserves more and it’s hard to say he’s wrong. The English media write that the leaders of City will negotiate with Alvarez about his role when he returns to Manchester. The Etihad reportedly had no plans to sell him, but if they fail to convince him to stay, we should expect the Argentine to become available on the market, since Pep Guardiola does not want dissatisfied players in the team…In addition to Atlético Madrid, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in Julián, and City would reportedly ask for more than 80,000,000 euros for their footballer if they come to a situation where they have to sell him. Los Colchoneros hardly have that money at their disposal, but they could get it by selling Samu Omorodion, for whom they have already rejected offers from the Premier League of around 40,000,000 euros…A bolt from the blue for Man City: Alvarez wants to leave!
