‘Can’t wait’, ‘Guardiola is fed up’, ‘He’s tired of Sterling and Jesus’ – Many Man City fans react to Julian Alvarez update

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Julian Alvarez is set to join the club in the summer for extra €1.5m.

The 22-year-old forward signed for the Citizens in January before returning to River Plate on loan, where he is currently set to stay until December 31.

Pep Guardiola’s side are believed to have a €1.5m option if they wish to fast-track the forward into their first-team squad this summer.

Despite Pep Guardiola stating earlier this year that Alvarez ‘will be with us’ in the summer for pre-season, there has been speculation to suggest that City may look to keep the forward in his homeland until 2023, as they eye a move for a big-money centre-forward such as Erling Braut Haaland.

According to Argentine journalists Gustavo Yarroch as relayed by All About Argentina, the talismanic River forward would be leaving the club in the summer to join up with his new teammates ahead of schedule.

The report states that after a meeting between the club’s, Man City have stated that they are going to execute the €1.5M option to secure the player early, with Guardiola wanting him from June.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“We should have paid that money since January and have Alvarez at City which will give us more attacking options and Foden wouldn’t have been at the false nine position which is limiting his full potential”
