According to a new report from renowned transfer journalist Romano, Atletico Madrid executives are currently in advanced discussions with the agent of Argentine striker Julian Alvarez regarding the length of his contract. The news further confirms the rumors that Alvarez is on the verge of a move from Manchester City to Atletico Madrid and that substantial progress has been made in the transfer talks.
Romano revealed that the negotiations between the board of Atletico Madrid and Alvarez's agent have centered on the length of the contract, with the two sides currently focusing their discussions on a five-year deal. This contract length is considered a key point in reaching a deal, as it not only reflects Atletico's confidence in Alvarez's future development, but is also in line with the long-term plans of the player and his team.
Previously, there have been media reports that Atletico Madrid and Manchester City agreed on a transfer fee for Alvarez, with a base transfer fee of 75 million euros and a floating clause of 20 million euros. The amount of the transfer fee shows the high value of Alvarez in the current transfer market, and also reflects the great efforts made by Atletico Madrid to introduce the young striker.
Alvarez, as a young and promising striker, has shown excellent goal-scoring ability and game sense during his time at Manchester City. His joining will add new vitality to Atletico Madrid's forward line and further enhance the team's attacking strength. Meanwhile, for Alvarez himself, joining Atlético Madrid will be an important turning point in his career, and he is expected to continue to grow and achieve greater success in the La Liga giants.
