Manchester City and Atletico Madrid are nearing an agreement over the transfer of Julian Alvarez, with the Spanish giants set to pay at least five times the £14 million City paid for the player in 2022. Alvarez, who had grown unhappy with his role at City due to limited playing time, has attracted interest from top European clubs like Juventus, Arsenal, and Paris Saint Germain. Despite earlier suggestions of a potential cash-plus-player deal involving Joao Felix, it now appears that Atletico will make a straight cash offer for Alvarez, possibly staggering payments to afford him.

This development, reported by one of the top journalists in the game, comes after weeks of speculation about Alvarez’s future.
