After all the speculation regarding Julian Alvarez being lured to the top-flight league of Italy, it seems that the Serie A giants have fell behind within the race in obtaining his signature as the young Argentine is set to join Manchester City.
A couple of weeks ago, it was heard that the 21 year-old striker’s agent has touched down in Italy in order to discuss possible options regarding his client playing within the Serie A.
Numerous Italian clubs such as Inter, Milan, Fiorentina, and the front-runners Juventus were all eager in submitting a lucrative offer to obtain the signature of the promising Argentinian marksmen. However, it seems that a massive twist has occurred within the transfer window regarding Alvarez’s next destination.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League giants Manchester City are currently entering the final stages of luring Julian Alvarez from River Plate to the Etihad Stadium. The club officials have offered the Argentinian €16m, along with many bonuses in order to tempt them in selling their promising striker.
It is no surprise that Alvarez has caught the eye of countless of clubs across Europe as the South-American sensation has earned himself an impressive resume throughout his years while playing for River Plate.
Throughout the 2020-21 campaign, the 21 year-old has maintained a sizzling form throughout the entirety of the season, scoring 20 goals and providing 17 assists with the Argentinian giants through the use of his tactical awareness, his prolific spell of goal-scoring, and his peripheral vision.
