Julian Alvarez stirred up the football market by stating that he would reconsider his future after the Olympic Games, clearly indicating that he is not satisfied with his role in the team. The Argentine forward was one of the Citizens’ players with the most minutes on the team last season, but it is evident that he is not happy with the role he has under Pep Guardiola.Pep Guardiola, Xavi, and Arteta progressed from La Masia to managing the biggest clubs in the world:✅ Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)✅ Xavi (FC Barcelona)✅ Arteta (Arsenal)What a journey 👏 pic.twitter.com/jfK8LZ2ICA— Pubity Sport (@pubitysport) July 29, 2024 Last season, Alvarez made 54 appearances in all competitions, scoring 19 goals and providing 13 assists. However, he played only 33 minutes over two matches in the Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid, just five minutes in the UEFA Super Cup, and at the very end of the Premier League season, he was given minimal playing time.”Last season, I was one of City’s players with the most minutes on the team. But you don’t like to be left out of important matches. You want to contribute to the team. I haven’t thought about what exactly I will do yet. When the Olympic Games are over, I will take time to think about what I want for myself. We’ll see how things unfold” said Alvarez recently.He extends it, he extends it not – Pep’s contract situation tortures Man City fansBut his coach doesn’t want to feel blackmailed. Pep Guardiola is famous for asking his players to keep a certain weight level throughout the season and not to moan when they don’t play. And Alvarez did just that, so Pep’s response was blunt, to say at least. “He said he’d think about it. When he finished thinking about it, his agent is going to call Txiki and we see what happens. I know he wants to play important moments, yeah. But the other ones do too. 18, 19 players as well want to play the big games. I read he wants to think about it. Okay, think about it and after that he will inform us what he wants to do. He plays a lot, he wants more? That’s fine. That why, think about it. When he thinks about it he’ll inform us” said the Spaniard. ##NAJAVA_MECA_44459##Guardiola was also non-comital to De Bruyne, even thou he recently said that the Belgian midfielder will stay. “The club inform me that they didn’t get an offer. To leave needs an offer. I don’t know what is going happen but I’d love for him to stay. Like what happen with David Silva and the other players. He earned the credit to decide his future for himself. For what he has done for this club is massive. That’s why he has to decide. The info I have right now he is going to stay” he said.
