According to El Chiringuito, Julián Álvarez is eager to embark on a new challenge and has rejected a new four-year contract extension from Manchester City.
Despite this, any club interested in signing him, such as Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain, would need to spend at least £70 million (€81 million/$89 million) to secure his transfer from the Etihad Stadium.
Losing Álvarez would be a significant setback for Manchester City. The Argentine international has been instrumental under Pep Guardiola’s management, even if he doesn’t have the same level of fame as Erling Haaland or Kevin De Bruyne.
Since joining Manchester City in 2022, Álvarez has played a crucial role, whether coming off the bench or stepping up in the absence of Haaland. His contributions have been vital to City’s dominance in the Premier League.
Álvarez, who is 24 years old, has already had an impressive career. He has won numerous major trophies, including the World Cup, Copa America, Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup.
Last season alone, he made 32 goal contributions in 54 games, highlighting his significant impact on the field.
Despite his desire for a new challenge, Álvarez remains under contract with Manchester City until 2028. For now, he will continue to wait for the right opportunity to join a new team. In the meantime, he will join his Manchester City teammates for pre-season preparations and the club’s tour in the United States.
