On Tuesday, August 6, Atletico Madrid reached an agreement with Manchester City for the signing of Julian Alvarez for a deal worth up to €95m, approximately £82m, making it a club record sale for City. The completion of the deal is subject to Alvarez finalizing personal terms with Atletico, but there is a disagreement over base salary and contract length which is causing a delay. This impending departure will force Pep Guardiola to make decisions on how to replace Alvarez, either through new signings or promoting from the club’s academy.
In addition to Alvarez’s potential exit, City have also reached an agreement to sell one of their promising youngsters, despite his impressive performances in pre-season and rare first-team appearances.
