So, what happened? According to El Chiringuito, Julian Alvarez is seeking a new challenge and has rejected a new four-year contract from Manchester City.
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested, but they will need to pay at least £70 million to secure his transfer.
Losing Alvarez would be a significant blow for City. Although not as high-profile as Haaland or De Bruyne, Alvarez has been vital to City’s success since joining in 2022, often making crucial contributions.
Despite his achievements, including winning major trophies, Alvarez may wait for the right opportunity to move, with his contract running until 2028. He will rejoin City for preseason training and their U.S. tour.
