The news that Julian Alvarez has been connected to Atletico Madrid came as a surprise on Friday coming from Argentina. Among others, the Argentine appears to have chosen the Spanish squad, who would have effectively tied the striker’s entrance, despite being a target up until now.
Details of these spontaneous acts were given by “DirecTV.” The striker would have made up his mind on Atletico while at the Olympic training camp with the Argentina U-23 national squad. That being said, one of the main forces behind this decision is the Argentine coach.
He requested a board of directors to break the bank in order to appease the coach, who is still a Manchester City player. TyC Sports values the deal at 70 million euros fixed plus an additional 20 million or so.
Pep Guardiola and Man City will play hard ball over Julian Alvarez
Even the players who don’t play for the first team on a regular basis must live up to Guardiola’s high standards in everything that he does. It is rather obvious that Julian Alvarez is Erling Haaland’s backup at the Etihad Stadium, even though he has been given a fair go.
That may be the reason why reputable CaughtOffside sources have learned that Atletico Madrid is aggressively attempting to obtain the Argentine World Cup winner’s signature by negotiating with his representatives. The attacker will get a five-year contract worth over €13 million per year from the La Liga powerhouses.
