After his first season at Manchester City, Julian Alvarez was left with The Treble and the World Cup title. Absolutely incredible, and what will the motivation be like after winning everything? Alvarez responded by not settling for standing in the shadow of Erling Haaland. Last season, Guardiola put the Argentine striker in where there was a lack of gunpowder, 54 games with 19 goals and 23 assists says a lot about the extreme capacity. Then the 25-year-old pushed for an exit this summer. Alvarez wanted to play the lead role.
It ended with a signing with Atletico Madrid, where 22 goals and 5 assists in 43 games have given Diego Simeone and Atletico exactly what they expected from the former City player (apart from an unfortunate double on a penalty against Real Madrid, of course).
Alvarez has everything to play. The speed, the move, the physique, the technique, the gaze and the extreme finishing. Liverpool supporters are now told that they missed out on Alvarez’s signing.
Because Liverpool were on to bring Alvarez to Anfield, says the Argentine’s agent.
“I can confirm that Liverpool were interested in Julian last year,” his agent Fernando Hidalgo said according to Tribuna.com.
