BREAKING NEWS: Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez has departed Etihad Stadium to join a Spanish club in a deal worth £70 million.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly progressing in negotiations with Manchester City over the potential transfer of Julian Alvarez. The Argentine forward, currently with Manchester City, is rumored to be seeking a move away from the Premier League champions.

Reports suggest that Alvarez is dissatisfied with his role at the club, particularly his limited starting opportunities, especially in the Champions League.

The 24-year-old, who recently won the Copa America with Argentina, is believed to want a more prominent role, potentially as a central forward. However, this position at Manchester City is primarily occupied by Erling Haaland, making it challenging for Alvarez to secure regular playing time.

There have been claims that Alvarez has requested a transfer, with Atletico Madrid emerging as a serious contender for his signature.

If the deal goes through, Alvarez could replace either Alvaro Morata, who is set to join AC Milan, or Joao Felix, whom the club is looking to sell. Under Diego Simeone, Alvarez could play a crucial role for Atletico Madrid. While talks are reportedly advanced, there has been no disclosure of a potential transfer fee, but it is expected that Manchester City would demand a high price for the player.

Manchester City retains the option to keep Alvarez, regardless of his current feelings. The club, known for not holding onto unhappy players, may consider selling him if the right offer comes in.

Alvarez has four years left on his contract, and any potential transfer would likely require a substantial fee. Chelsea is also reportedly interested in Alvarez, but any move is uncertain at this stage.

As the transfer market is unpredictable, it remains to be seen whether Manchester City will entertain a significant offer for a player who might be dissatisfied with his current situation.
