As several media outlets have been reporting that Alvarez is on the verge of a move to Atletico Madrid, former Argentina international Aguero has given his thoughts on the potential transfer during the live coverage of the Community Shield final. Aguero expressed great optimism about Alvarez's prospects and believes that he is an ideal candidate for Simeone's tactical system.
Aguero noted that Alvarez will be able to fully utilize his style of play at Atletico and will have the opportunity to play in all competitions. In particular, he emphasized that Alvarez will not have to compete with world-class strikers like Harland at Atletico, which will provide him with more playing time and performance opportunities. Aguero believes that while Alvarez got some playing time at Manchester City due to Harland's injury, he will likely only be able to play as a second striker if Harland stays fit.
However, at Atletico, things will be very different. Aguero said that Alvarez will be able to feel at home as a main striker, something he may struggle to get at Manchester City. He revealed that Atletico's club and manager Simeone are keen to have Alvarez on board, and the fans are excited about his arrival.
Although Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has high praise for Alvarez, Aguero believes that Guardiola should be able to understand Alvarez's feelings of seeking a new challenge. He mentioned that while Guardiola does not want to lose the young talented player, Alvarez's desire to pursue personal development and a higher stage is also human.
To summarize, Aguero is optimistic about the prospect of Alvarez moving to Atletico. He believes that Alvarez will shine in Simeone's tactical system and become an important part of Atletico's forward line. At the same time, he also expects Alvarez to continue to grow and improve in the new environment and bring more exciting games to the fans.
