The Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez arrived in Madrid on Sunday, August 11, after signing a five-year contract that amounted to a staggering £81 million for his move to Atletico Madrid.
Two and a half years after moving from River Plate to City for £14 million, Alvarez, 24, will join the Spanish giants. This gives Pep Guardiola’s City a big profit on the Argentine.
With performance-based add-ons, the striker’s fee could rise as high as €95m (£81m) under the terms of the initial €75m (£64m) contract that Atletico has agreed to.
Alvarez’s time at the Etihad has been massively fruitful, with Alvarez winning six trophies, including two Premier League titles and one Champions League, while he has also lifted the World Cup and Copa America with Argentina during that period.
The forward scored 36 goals and added 18 assists in 103 matches for City. Despite the fact that, the English Champions were hoping to keep hold of the forward, Alvarez is believed to be persuaded by a transition to increase his playing time.
The player had a successful stretch with Man City, winning six trophies in just two years.
