Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez said something that hinted at a transfer. However, Pep Guardiola was not swayed.

England's The Sun reported on the 30th (Korea time) 'Albares gave a mysterious hint of a transfer after playing second in Elling Holan.

Der Sun said 'Albares will decide on his future at the club after the Olympics. He is currently in Paris and is unlikely to be able to return to the Etihad until September. Now many clubs have questioned his return, and Atletico Madrid and others are watching the situation.



Álvarez said in a recent interview that `I'm one of the players who played a lot of time on the team last season. But in fact, I hated the fact that I was excluded from important games in the end. I wanted to contribute. I didn't think clearly what I was going to do. After the Olympics, I will have time to think about it"He indirectly expressed his desire to transfer.

Alvarez is a striker who made his name known on the European stage in earnest by moving to Manchester City in the 2022-2023 season. Even at a young age in 2000, he played a role in reminding Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero with his solid balance, excellent dribbling and accurate shooting. Alvarez's value, who won the Qatar World Cup in 2022 after joining Manchester City, has skyrocketed.



He also showed outstanding performance in the previous season. Alvarez played in 54 games in the 2023-2024 season, scoring 19 goals and 13 assists, greatly contributing to Manchester City's offense with 31 offensive points, even though he often played as second-top and winger, not his main position.

However, despite his performance, it is not easy for Alvarez to play as the main striker in the next season. Manchester City had a wall too high for Álvarez to be the main player. It's Elling Holan. Because of Holan's presence in scoring power, Alvarez has no choice but to stay in the backup at his original position, Striker.



Alvarez appears to be considering a transfer to get out of this situation and secure more playing time and key status for the team. Atletico and Paris Saint-Germain are already known to have shown interest, so the transfer may accelerate after the Olympics.

Guardiola, however, showed a detached attitude to the situation. When asked about Álvarez at a recent preseason press conference, he said "I didn't think about changing him. However, I know he said he would think about the transfer. When he finishes thinking, he will call Cheeky Verstein through his agent, and then we have to wait and see what happens."

"I know he wants to play in important games, but other players want that, too. Our team has 18 to 19 players who want to play in important games. He should think about that, too. Think about it, and let us know what he wants to doHe did not hide the thought that he might have to leave if he wanted to participate because not everyone can participate even if he wants to.

Álvarez's life in Manchester City, which was expected to become the second Aguero, is gradually coming to an end. His decision after the Olympics has a remaining journey to play.
