Manchester City have concluded their pre-season preparations and are gearing up for the start of the new Premier League season. After a successful tour of America and a Community Shield victory over Manchester United, Pep Guardiola’s team are set to face Chelsea this weekend. However, concerns have been raised about the departure of Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid for £81m. Paul Merson believes that City may struggle to replace Alvarez, who was a valuable squad player known for his goal contributions and versatility across different positions.
Alvarez, who was signed for £14m in 2022, proved to be an important player for City, scoring 36 goals and providing 18 assists in his two seasons with the club. Despite Guardiola acknowledging Alvarez’s desire for a new challenge, his departure has left a void in the team that needs to be filled before the end of the transfer window. Merson’s warning about the potential impact of losing Alvarez highlights the importance of City finding a suitable replacement in the coming days to avoid any setbacks in their upcoming season.
