Players Fleeing Pep Guardiola at Manchester City
Julián Álvarez might leave Manchester City during this summer transfer window.
Things are a bit unsettled at Manchester City, with uncertainty surrounding Kevin de Bruyne's future after he mentioned a call from Saudi Arabia, and the possible departure of Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, who also has offers from Saudi clubs. Now, the latest buzz is about Julián Álvarez potentially leaving the team.
According to "The Athletic," the 24-year-old Argentine player is very close to leaving the British club, as he has already informed the "Citizens" of his desire to move on in search of more playing time.
On the other hand, this would be a significant loss for Guardiola's side, as the Spanish coach considers the Argentine crucial for his system and style of play. This would put City in a predicament, pushing them to find a replacement as soon as possible to start the 2024-2025 season with a complete squad.
However, the Argentine's departure from the English team won't be easy. He has a contract until June 2027, and the club has valued him at 70 million euros ($76.3 million), which could rise to 90 million euros ($98.1 million) due to some clauses.
It's important to note that nothing is official yet; Álvarez's exit is still a rumor. But we'll have to keep an eye on what happens in the coming days with the young Argentine star and Manchester City.
