In light of rumours that Chelsea is interested in signing Julian Alvarez, the forward’s status at Manchester City has been discussed by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
According to reports, Chelsea is considering putting in a bid for Julian Alvarez during the summer.
The 24-year-old’s Manchester City contract was only extended in March of last year, and it will expires in 2028.
Still, Alvarez might find it appealing to transfer to a different team if he wants to be the starting striker. The Argentine is, of course, second fiddle to Erling Haaland at City.
Situation with Julian Alvarez is explained by Fabrizio Romano.
Romano claims that City wants to retain Alvarez at the Etihad.
Alvarez must inform the Premier League winners of his want to leave and bide his time until a high-ball offer materialises if he intends to join Chelsea or another team this summer.
On his YouTube channel, Romano talked about the future of the Argentina international, saying that Manchester City would not accept a loan agreement for Julian Alvarez.
This is the current state of affairs for Manchester City. Additionally, if they let Julian Alvarez leave the team in the summer, it would have to be for a sizable number of money.
Thus, Julian Alvarez will not be sold by Manchester City this summer.
That will only take place if the player makes a clear request to leave and join another team and receives a sizable payment. Manchester City is reluctant to sell Julian unless these two requirements are met.
“They will do everything in their power to keep Julian Alvarez with the club because they think he’s a big player with a bright future.”
Should Chelsea offer Julian Alvarez a large sum of money?
It seems obvious that Chelsea needs to add a striker this summer.
Being the only acknowledged center-forward in the Blues’ lineup at the end of the previous season, Nicolas Jackson had a lot of squandered opportunities.
His xG difference in the Premier League was -4.66, according to WhoScored. The Senegalese international ought to have scored four goals more than he did. Taking everything into account once more, Chelsea ought to add a center-forward, and Alvarez makes sense as a candidate.
The former River Plate player can score goals, is accustomed to playing in the English premier league, and is knowledgeable about playing in a top squad. Last season, he scored 19 goals in all competitions. Although it appears that Alvarez will not come cheap, a significant transfer price may be well worth it.
