According to a recent report from The Telegraph, Manchester City Football Club have made a significant financial gain in the transfer market as they are on the verge of selling striker Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid for €75 million. The deal not only marks another successful operation for City in the player transfer market, but also signals that the team may make new reinforcement moves in the upcoming transfer window.
Manchester City brought in Alvarez from Argentine club River Plate for a relatively inexpensive £14 million in 2022, and have now realized more than a five-fold return on their investment through his transfer in just one year. The success of this deal undoubtedly demonstrates City's unique vision in player selection and transfer strategy.
However, Alvarez's departure was not entirely out of City's will. The young 24-year-old striker was eager to get more starts at his new club to further his career. Atlético Madrid, on the other hand, showed a strong desire to buy the player and were willing to meet the high transfer fee demanded by City, which ultimately led to the conclusion of the deal.
Manchester City's forward line will face some adjustments after the departure of Alvarez. Although they have already signed Brazilian winger Savinho as a supplement this summer, the team management may still consider looking for new strikers in the market to strengthen the squad. Wolves striker Pedro Neto has reportedly emerged as one of City's potential targets.
Pedro Neto, as a young and powerful forward player, has shown good athleticism and goal-scoring ability at Wolves. His joining will help City to further improve the strength of their forward line and bring more attacking options and variations to the team.
