BREAKING NEWS:Julian Alvarez responded to Pep Guardiola’s recent remarks about his future at Manchester City by stating, “I didn’t say anything incorrect; all I wanted was more opportunities to play.”

Julian Alvarez’s future at Manchester City is currently uncertain, prompting him to respond to recent comments made by manager Pep Guardiola during a press conference. With increasing interest from Atletico Madrid, questions arose regarding Alvarez’s future at the club, especially after he expressed dissatisfaction with his playing time last season.

Despite scoring goals, he felt he deserved to participate in more significant matches and found it disappointing to be left out by his coach.

Alvarez stated that he would consider his future at the club after the Olympic Games in Paris this summer. In response, Guardiola acknowledged the player’s desire to play in crucial moments but pointed out that many other players share the same ambition.

Guardiola added that Alvarez could think about his future and communicate his decision to the club later.

Following Argentina’s 2-0 victory against Ukraine in the Olympic Games, Alvarez was asked about Guardiola’s comments.

He responded by saying that he had heard them and had not meant to cause any controversy. Alvarez emphasized that he had always been happy and comfortable at Manchester City.

He explained that his remarks were simply a reflection on the previous season and a consideration of what might happen next, a typical process for him.

Meanwhile, speculation about Alvarez’s potential transfer to Atletico Madrid continues. The Spanish club is reportedly considering an initial transfer fee of around €70 million, with an additional €20 million in add-ons. However, negotiations could become complicated if Manchester City includes provisions like a buy-back clause or a sell-on percentage.

If Alvarez does move to Atletico Madrid, Manchester City will likely enter the transfer market to find a suitable replacement for the talented striker.

The situation remains fluid, with Alvarez’s decision and potential negotiations between the clubs still unfolding. The outcome will significantly impact Manchester City’s plans for the upcoming season and their strategy in the transfer market.
