In season 22, Alvarez said goodbye to River Plate, where he had been playing for a long time, and moved to Manchester City in the English Premier League. The newly minted Premier League player quickly settled into the rhythm of the league and delivered 17 goals and 4 assists in all competitions, fulfilling the role of a substitute striker brilliantly.
Since setting foot in Manchester City, Alvarez's career has taken off in leaps and bounds. This summer, he successfully defended his Copa America title with the Argentina national team. Under Scaloni, they have won three consecutive Copa America and World Cup awards in recent years. Alvarez became the hero of the team when he scored four solo goals at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He is gradually becoming an indispensable attacking weapon in front of the Argentine national team.
In this year's America's Cup, the little spider once again showed his power, defending the team's title and ushering in his 16th individual title. At the age of 24, he has already reached the heights that many players can never reach in their lifetime, which is enviable.
During his time at Manchester City, Spider collected a number of honors such as the World Cup, Champions League, Copa America and Premier League title, realizing a grand slam of titles at the club and national team level, and becoming a winner in life.
As Alvarez has continued to improve, his position at Manchester City has changed. After the team's main striker Harland was injured, Alvarez was chosen as the first choice for starting center forward. Although he did not score as many goals as Harland, Alvarez fully utilized his role as a substitute and earned more playing opportunities.
However, with Alvarez's playing time limited with Harland's return from injury, the world champion striker may not want to remain on the bench. He is hungry for more games and appearances and therefore seeks a move to achieve this.
Manchester City are open to a move for Alvarez. The club will not hesitate to send the Argentine striker away as long as they receive the right offer and will not put too many obstacles in the transfer process.
Currently, both Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Alvarez. Despite the Parisian side offering €10 million a year, Atletico Madrid have the absolute advantage in this competition. They managed to attract the attention of Alvarez with a transfer fee of €95 million and a five-year long contract. Both sides seem to have reached a consensus and it is only a matter of time before the deal is announced.
Atletico coach Simeone, an Argentinean, contacted Alvarez several times and actively invited him to join Atletico. Simeone said that the little spider is expected to be the top scorer in La Liga.
If the little spider joins Atletico Madrid and lands in La Liga, he will face a new challenge in his career. Atletico have many Argentine players such as De Paul, Molina, Correa and other members of the national team. Alvarez will have the opportunity to play alongside his club teammates. Meanwhile, he will have plenty of space and attacking opportunities up front. Head coach Simeone is expected to create a tactical system centered on Alvarez, providing him with a great opportunity.
Atletico Madrid have made a lot of moves in the transfer window this summer, bringing in players such as Thurrott and Lenormand. Meanwhile, the deal for Blues midfielder Gallagher is nearing completion. Atletico are aiming to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona for the La Liga title next season. Madrid will go all out for the title next season.
Alvarez's move to La Liga may only be a matter of time. Leaving City and opting for a move would be a tough decision for him. However, I believe that Spider will not give up his desire for the title. Facing new challenges, the future is full of unknowns. We will see how Alvarez performs on the pitch together.
