In a shоck move that has sent ripples through the footballing world, Manchester City has agreed to sell Argentine forward Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid.

The deal, worth a staggering $95 million, will see the Spanish club pay a guaranteed $75 million with a further $20 million in potential add-ons.

Alvarez, a key player in Argentina’s World Cup-winning campaign, has enjoyed incredible success at the Etihad. His contributions were instrumental in City’s treble-winning season. However, the forward has found regular first-team opportunities limited due to the fierce competition for places in Pep Guardiola’s star-studded squad.

Seeking more consistent playing time to further his career, Alvarez has decided to embark on a new challenge at Atletico Madrid. The Spanish side has been long-time admirers of the young talent, and this move promises to be an exciting new chapter for both player and club.

As Man City counts their substantial profits from the deal, fans will be eager to see how the club replaces Alvarez’s goal-scoring prowess. Meanwhile, the footballing world eagerly awaits Alvarez’s impact at Atletico Madrid.
