Manchester City is one of the most powerful sides in football. They have big names like Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bryne, and Rodri among their rankings. One name that has been covered between all these names is a certain World Cup winner. During the 2022–2023 campaign, this individual won almost every trophy possible to him apart from the Carabao Cup. Argentina striker Julian Alvarez is the name of the individual. Despite being a generational talent, the youngster has not had enough time at Manchester City to shine. The youngster regularly comes off the bench instead of starting the game. He has very rarely gotten the opportunity to start for the Sky Blues. He has also been denied playing in his natural number-nine position. Erling Haaland, please regularly fill that position for the Premier League champions.
This has led to many people speculating that he would like to move away from the Etihad. He played a very crucial role during Argentina’s 2022 World Cup-winning campaign as well. The 24-year-old youngster scored a brace against Luka Modrics Croatia to take them to the finals. The youngster contributed four goals to Argentina’s success. He has given me what I regard as the next Sergio Aguero.
Despite not getting much playing time, he has scored 19 goals for the club. He signed for Manchester City during the 2022–23 season. He has regularly played in the midfield during his time under Pep. Many fans speculate that this will make Alvarez want to switch clubs.
Alvarez linked with PSG?
Erling Haaland, who has won the Golden Boot for two seasons in a row, reduces the chances for the Argentina player to start ahead of him. However, his amazing skills and abilities have attracted top European football clubs to him. Recently, Kylian Mbappe departed from Paris Saint-Germain. This has left a void in their attack. The Parisians are looking to add firepower by signing Victor Osimen of Napoli. However, recent reports suggest that they are also in talks with the city about Julian Alvarez.
His ability to score and assist will definitely benefit the champions of France. Players like Ousaman Dembele will have a proper number 9 to provide the crosses. His midfield ability will allow him to link up nicely with Vithinha and Fabian Ruiz. Having players like Goncalo Ramos on top will also help boost his assist stats.
Can Enrique work his magic again?
The Paris manager, Luis Enrique, will definitely help Alvarez bring out the best in himself. He is widely known for his work at Barcelona with players. Most people remember his time managing Messi, Neymar, and Suarez together. They won the Champions League together, which added a lot of prestige to the manager’s career and trophies. He was even regarded as one of the best managers to manage Barcelona. He even brought out one of the best seasons for Neymar.
The World Cup winner might also consider moving to Bayern Munich. However, there have been no talks in regards to that. At the moment, it has been reported that Luis Enrique has approved a move for Julian Alvarez. PSG has even held talks with the city management.
It will be interesting to see how Pep Guardiola decides to handle this transfer situation. His future with the club is currently undecided until 2025. As of now, many fans will question if the former River Plate forward will follow in Messi’s footsteps. A move to Paris can make or break his career. Where the player will go is undecided. The talent that he possesses is definitely a gift for any manager and club to have.
