Ole: Manchester City will pay about 21 million Euros to sign Alvarez, and the players will first return to River Plate on loan

According to The Argentine newspaper Ole, Manchester City are close to signing River Plate midfielder Alvarez for a total price of about 21 million euros.

City are close to negotiating with River Plate and Alvarez may be on loan back to River Plate until the end of the year, depending on River Plate's situation in the Copa Libertadores.

If River Plate is eliminated in July, then Alvarez will go to Manchester City at that time; if River Plate comes to the end, then Alvarez will also go to Manchester City in the winter.

Manchester City will sign Alvarez until 30 June 2027, after which City will pay the difference in the player's salary, allowing the player to receive the salary in advance of the contract.
