Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has given a glowing review of the club’s January signing Julian Alvarez, suggesting the River Plate forward will benefit from heading to the Etihad Stadium in June ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
The 22-year-old forward moved to Manchester City for a fee worth around £14.2m plus add-ons but will remain on loan with River Plate until July at the earliest.
Though he will remain at River Plate until the summer, it remains possible that Alvarez’s stay in Argentina could be extended until the end of the calendar year.
Aguero and Alvarez have played together for the Argentine national team, and the City legend was full of praise for the youngster, who has taken South America by storm in recent months.
Sergio Aguero has told Manchester City it would be better if phenomenal signing Julian Alvarez touches down at the Etihad Stadium this summer.
In an interview with ESPN in Argentina this week, Aguero said: “(Julian) Alvarez is mature, over time he will continue to learn things, he is learning more and more and Manchester City bought him for a reason.
“He (Alvarez) is a good kid, he’s a phenomenon, shy and quiet. It’ll be better if he goes to City in June,” as translated and relayed by All About Argentina.
These Aguero’s comments on Alvarez were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
