In Argentina, Julián Álvarez's signing for Atlético is taken for granted

Today information began to circulate about what would be the huge offensive by Atlético de Madrid of Spain to secure the services of 24-year-old Argentine striker Julián Álvarez, linked to other operations, as well as the fact that negotiations with Manchester City of the English Premier League were going very well.

From Argentina they are already assuring that the agreement between both clubs mentioned in a reality and the striker of the Argentine national team, would be wearing red and white this new season.

The most expensive sale in City’s history

The Olé newspaper assumes that everything is completely closed There are only a few details left to be finalised and Atlético de Madrid will be paying around 80 million euros to secure the services of Julián Álvarez, in what will be the most expensive sale in the entire history of the city club.

The reasons for leaving City

Alvarez was totally determined to find a way out by any means other than Manchester City, firstly due to the role he was playing in the rotation of the team led by Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, having a good amount of minutes on the pitch, but not in important matches and this according to the coach. In addition, a family issue is the most important thing for the albiceleste: his parents and siblings will be living in the Spanish capital after his residence permit in England expired.

These two conditions, together with the strong commitment that the Atlético’s decision to sign Julián (not only financially, because they had more powerful offers, but above all in terms of sport), led the striker to think much more carefully about what his future will be like with the ‘colchonero’ team, managed by the also Argentine, Diego Simeone.

The newspaper Ole has also detailed that Atlético de Madrid will be agreeing to give up 100% of his image rights to the player, unlike at Manchester City where he only had 75%, to compensate for the fact that the financial offer is lower than, for example, one made by Paris Saint Germain of France.

Sacrifices for the arrival of Alvarez

For Julián Álvarez to arrive, Atlético was in a difficult position The obligation to transfer a player, in this case, Samu Omorodion to Chelsea in England. The red-and-whites do not want to let go of the 20-year-old from Melilla, but the possibility of signing Julián, the great desire of coach ‘El Cholo’ Simeone, and who Stamford Bridge will pay more than 40 million for Samu, has changed the position.
