BREAKING NEWS: Manchester City player Julian Alvarez has reportedly requested to depart from the club after turning down a four-year contract offer from Chelsea. PSG and other clubs are now eyeing the £70m-rated striker.

**What Happens?**

According to El Chiringuito, Julian Alvarez is keen to embark on a new challenge and has rejected a new four-year contract from Manchester City.

Although any interested club would need to spend at least £70 million (€81 million/$89 million) to secure his transfer from the Etihad Stadium, both Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest in the World Cup-winning forward.

**The Bigger Picture**

The potential loss of Alvarez would be a significant blow for Manchester City. Although he may not have the same star power as Erling Haaland or Kevin De Bruyne, Alvarez has played an essential role under manager Pep Guardiola.

Since joining the team in 2022, Alvarez has contributed to City’s dominance in the Premier League, often stepping up either as a substitute or when the team’s Norwegian star was unavailable.

**Alvarez’s Achievements**

At 24, Alvarez has already built an impressive resume. He has won the World Cup, Copa America, Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup.

Last season, he was highly productive, contributing 32 goals in 54 appearances, marking an exceptionally successful period in his career.

**What’s Next for City and Alvarez?**

For now, Alvarez remains under contract with Manchester City until 2028. While he waits for potential transfer opportunities, he will continue his preparations with the team, joining his teammates for pre-season training and their tour in the United States.
