Atlético Madrid is on the verge of securing a significant transfer for Julián Álvarez from Manchester City.
The deal, valued at approximately €80 million, is set to make the Argentine striker one of Atlético’s most notable signings of the summer.
Álvarez, who has been a pivotal player for City and the Argentine national team, is eager to secure more regular playing time, something he believes he can achieve under Diego Simeone’s management at Atlético
Negotiations between the clubs have reached an advanced stage, with both sides discussing the final details of the transfer fee and payment structure.
Álvarez’s inclination towards a move to Spain has also been influenced by his desire to work with Simeone and the promise of a key role in Atlético’s attacking lineup.
