According to a reliable report from Spanish channel Six's Marcos Benito, Argentine striker Alvarez is set to depart for Madrid next Monday, a trip that is seen as a prelude to his impending move from Manchester City to Atletico Madrid. Rumors of Alvarez's move to Atletico Madrid have been swirling for some time now, and this report certainly adds more substance to the transfer.
It is reported that the transfer agreement between Alvarez and Atletico Madrid has been basically finalized, the total transfer fee is expected to reach a staggering 95 million euros, including 75 million euros of fixed transfer fee and 20 million euros of floating terms. This transfer price not only reflects the market value of Alvarez as a young and promising striker, but also highlights Atletico Madrid's determination and dedication to strengthening the team's attacking force.
Alvarez, 24 years old, has been officially joining Manchester City since the summer of 2022 and has won the recognition of the fans and coaching staff with his outstanding performances. However, due to the fierce competition within the City team, Alvarez's chances of playing in the team are limited for part of the time, which makes him consider seeking new development opportunities. Atletico Madrid, as a traditional strong team in La Liga, has a tactical system and team culture that matches Alvarez's skill set, which has laid a good foundation for the cooperation between the two sides.
According to reports, Alvarez will sign a five-year contract with Atletico Madrid. This long-term contract is not only a recognition of Alvarez's personal ability and potential, but also Atletico Madrid's expectation for him to play an important role in the team in the future. With the addition of Alvarez, the strength of Atletico Madrid's forward line will be further improved, and they will also launch to a higher goal in the new season.
