It all started with Julian Alvarez and his comments that he hasn’t played much this season. The Argentinian was on the bench for important games in the Champions League and wasn’t happy about it. But Pep Guardiola was equally unimpressed with those comments as he is famous for not allowing his players to moan about playing time. So, he told Alvarez publicly that all he needed to do was to visit the sports director and ask for a transfer. Maybe the Argentinian didn’t do so like that, but the transfer eventually happened and Manchester United suddenly found himself without a good player but with around 95 million euros for a new transfer. And now half of Europe is trembling. Atletico’s ammunition for the attack on the title: Julián Alvarez arrives in Madrid for 95,000,000!There are a number of clubs that should brace with a call from the current English champion. For example, Crystal Palace. The London club lost Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, but now, for example, could be tempted to sell their other forward Eberechi Eze. The England international, who scored 11 Premier League goals last season, is worth around 70 million euros, with the contract expiring in 2027. Then there is Kvaratskhelia from Napoli. The versatile Georgian could also be the target but Napoli’s president De Laurentiis is not so keen to sell him (unlike Osimhen), so he wants around 100 million euros. It is expensive even for a rich club like City. Rodrygo glorifies Man City: ‘They are the best team in the world’There is another intriguing prospect – Rodrygo. Almost all football analysts in Europe picked the Brazilian as the player who will move to the bench in order to create space for Kylian Mbappe. City has the money for this move, and Real would probably accept it, but it would all depend on the player himself. Would he be willing to fight for the place in starting 11, or would he move to England? We will soon find out, as City will surely look to find a replacement for excellent Alvarez. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8259534##
