Atletico Madrid is looking to sign Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez as a replacement for Alvaro Morata, who is expected to join AC Milan. Alvarez, who recently won the Copa America with Argentina, is currently focused on his international duties at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris. Atletico Madrid is willing to make a significant financial effort to secure Alvarez as a key player in Diego Simeone’s new project.
Despite Manchester City not being eager to let Alvarez go, Atletico Madrid is not ruling out the possibility of a loan deal for the 24-year-old forward. Alvarez is keen on receiving more playing time and becoming a pillar of Simeone’s team. If Morata does leave for AC Milan, Atletico Madrid is ready to invest in Alvarez and make him a key part of their squad for the upcoming season.
Morata is expected to undergo a medical with AC Milan soon, which could trigger more concrete movements from Atletico Madrid towards Alvarez. If Alvarez decides to stay at Manchester City, he may not return to training or matches until mid-September due to his international commitments with Argentina. Nonetheless, Atletico Madrid is determined to secure Alvarez’s services as a marquee signing for the next season.
