The http://ufabet999.app, a British media outlet, reported that Manchester City may be ready to sell Julian Alvarez, a talented striker who wants to move clubs, for a fee of 77 million pounds.

There is news that the Argentine striker, who is currently playing in the Olympic Games, has asked to move out of the Etihad Stadium because he wants to play continuously as a starter.

The “Sky Blues” are unlikely to let Alvarez leave easily because he has performed outstandingly despite not having much playing time throughout the 2 years.

The report states that if City finally have to sell, they would like a fee of 60 million pounds plus 17 million pounds in add-ons as an exchange. The

24-year-old player moved from River Plate to City for a fee of only 14 million pounds in 2022.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Alvarez has flown to Paris to participate in the Summer Olympics with Argentina after plying his trade in the Copa America, which will further deter Pep Guardiola from handing him a starting role, at least in the initial phase of the 2024-25 campaign. He hasn’t had a substantial break in three years owing to club and international commitments, making his situation even more complex.

DID YOU KNOW?

In recent years, City have demonstrated a willingness to allow players to leave if they desire, a policy highlighted by the transfers of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal. However, they have also shown resistance when it comes to key players, whom they will struggle to replace at short notice, creating challenges for potential suitors. Last summer, they blocked the sales of Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva, demonstrating their selective approach to player transfers.
