Since the departure of Aguero, Manchester United have been lacking a reliable striker, and now Guardiola has finally made a move, he has his eye on the Argentine striker Alvarez, who currently plays for River Plate, and now Manchester City is very close to signing Alvarez, and many media reports have reported that Manchester City have reached an agreement with the players and the two sides will sign for five years. And Manchester City will directly pay the player's liquidated damages, after all, the player's liquidated damages are only 21 million euros, which is a dime for Manchester City.
Recently, a number of media reported that Manchester City has reached an agreement with Alvarez, Manchester City and River Plate have also communicated, Manchester City will pay a penalty of 21 million euros to directly sign the player, and Manchester City will loan Alvarez back to River Plate for half a season. And Manchester City will sign players for four and a half years. At the same time, the players will now get back the salary offered by Manchester City, and in this half year, Manchester City will help River Plate subsidize the player's salary for half a year, which is about 1.5 million euros, and it has to be said that Manchester City's approach also makes River Plate very happy, of course, Manchester City may hope to continue to dig people from River Plate in the future.
Why do Manchester City value Alvarez so much? The 21-year-old Argentine striker has made 31 appearances for River Plate this season, scoring 20 goals and assisting seven times, Alvarez can play in the center and left and right wingers, he is not fast, but his dribbling ability is excellent, while his shooting accuracy is very high, he is the most accurate player in the Argentine league. At the same time, the player's sense of position is also good, he is a bit similar to Inter's Lautaro. Previously, many teams were paying attention to him, but in the end, Manchester City convinced him, after all, under Guardiola, he can improve better.
It has to be said that Manchester City signing Alvarez is definitely a good deal, the player has talent, has strength, if cultivated well, he may be like Aguero, become the best scorer for Manchester City. Of course, it is too early to say this, but also to see how he performs after coming to Manchester City, and the most he needs to do is to try to improve himself, to adapt himself to the rhythm of the Premier League, to adapt to the tactics of Guardiola. I just don't know, what do you think Alvarez will do when he comes to the Premier League?
