Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez is likely to transfer.
France's Foot Mercato reported on the 14th (Korea time) that `Albares has decided his future.'
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.
However, Manchester City had a wall too high for Álvarez to be the main player. Due to Elling Holan's presence, Alvarez often played second-top and winger, not striker, his main position. Even though he was not in his main position, 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.

Alvarez, however, was not happy with his current performance. He reportedly demanded that he leave Manchester City because of his playing time.
Foote Mercato says 'Albares could leave Manchester City. He has already asked Manchester City leaders to transfer to get more playing time. 'He is under contract with Manchester City until June 2028, but he seems to have decided on a new challenge. There was also news that he had already set his mind elsewhere. Not only Chelsea but also Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have been named as the club that covets him, and PSG could put pressure on the issue again in the coming weeks.
PSG has recently left Kylian Mbappe for Real Madrid after the expiration of his contract, creating a gap in the offense. In this situation, if a special sale called Alvarez is on the market, it is highly likely that he will not spare a huge transfer fee.
Foot Mercato predicted Alvarez's expected transfer fee, saying, `Man City will need an offer of at least 70 million pounds (about 125 billion won) to more than 80 million euros (about 120 billion won) if it sells Alvarez.' Considering the transfer fee paid by PSG so far, it is unlikely to be a burden.

Manchester City, meanwhile, is in a position to catch Alvarez for now. European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on his personal SNS, "'Man City will talk to Álvarez again after Copa America. Alvarez wants to play more, but Man City don't want to sell him.
Contrary to expectations that he will be Manchester City's Aguero, there is a growing possibility that Alvarez and Manchester City will part ways. Attention is also focusing on what choice Manchester City will make to catch him.
