Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez is reportedly interested in leaving the Sky Blues in search of a destination where he can get more playing time, according to ‘The Athletic’s Sam Lee. The Argentinian has failed to find a place in Pep Guardiola’s starting eleven in the last two seasons.
There are many rumours of departures surrounding Manchester City in this transfer window. Ederson Moraes and Kevin De Bruyne have been tempted by Saudi Arabian football, while Julian Alvarez has been linked with Atletico Madrid.
The Argentine striker is reportedly interested in leaving the Cityzens because he is not getting the minutes he wants, according to ‘The Athletic’ journalist Sam Lee. The Argentina striker wants to find a destination where he can get more playing time.
One of the reasons for Julian’s lack of playing time is the presence of Erling Haaland in the squad. With the Norwegian, the team already has a guaranteed striker who is a goalscorer. In addition, players like Phil Foden or De Bruyne himself, who can be positioned behind the No 9, take away opportunities for the former River man, who can also play alongside a striker.
City will not make it easy to sell their player, as they have valued him at 70 million euros. Clubs interested in signing him, such as Atletico, are not willing to go for that amount.
Julian Alvarez has made 103 appearances during his two seasons with the Mancunian side. The striker has scored 36 goals and provided 17 assists under Pep Guardiola.
