According to the latest report from well-known Italian journalist Nicolo Scilla, Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez is gradually approaching to join La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid. The news has attracted widespread attention in the soccer world, as Alvarez, as an important member of Manchester City, whose destination will undoubtedly affect the competition pattern of the two major leagues of the English Premier League and La Liga.
Atletico Madrid made a series of changes to their forward line this summer, releasing Morata and bringing in Thurrott to strengthen the team's offensive firepower. However, this did not satisfy Atletico's ambition and they are still looking for a more threatening striker. At this point, Manchester City striker Alvarez became their target.
According to Skylar, Alvarez has reached a preliminary agreement with Atletico Madrid, agreeing to sign a contract with the Bedlamites until 2029 with a one-year extension option. This contract detail shows the importance Atletico Madrid places on Alvarez and signals the depth and breadth of the partnership.
Alvarez, as an Argentine international, has been a proven performer for Manchester City. Last season, he made 54 appearances for City, including 39 starts, contributing 19 goals and 13 assists. Such figures not only proved his all-round ability in the attacking end, but also showed his important contribution to the team. Therefore, his departure will undoubtedly have an impact on City.
However, for Atletico Madrid, the addition of Alvarez will undoubtedly be a major reinforcement. His arrival will further enhance the team's attacking strength and inject new energy into Simeone's squad. At the same time, Alvarez will also have the opportunity to show his talent in the La Liga, competing with many world-class players.
