Manchester City’s position with Julián Álvarez facing the next transfer market
Although Julián Álvarez had to come on from the substitute bench in the last Premier League games, Manchester City’s decision with the former River is forceful: they are not willing to listen to any offer that involves a loan or a sale in the current transfer market. For Pep Guardiola and the Citizens board he is considered a valuable player within the squad and they do not want to part with the Córdoba striker.
Anyway, Fabrizio Romano warned that There may be two mitigating factors that could change this position. initial: on the one hand, that Julián Álvarez raises the need to leave or change things to have more minutes; and on the other, that the interested club offers an absolutely irresistible sum from an economic point of view. In that case, the evaluation could change. And Julián’s fate too.
What is Julián Álvarez’s exit clause?
Manchester City paid River 21.5 million euros for the signing of Julián Álvarez in mid-2022. However, once he set foot in England and signed his contract with the Citizens, His exit clause was valued at just over 100 million euros. In this way, the club that is willing to take Julián in this transfer market will have to shell out this figure or, at least, get pretty close to it.
