According to AS, Atlético de Madrid plans to make a total offer of €70 million to Manchester City for the acquisition of Julián Álvarez through a loan-to-buy arrangement.
With Morata on the verge of signing with AC Milan, Omoregbe returning from his loan at Alavés, and Depay pushing for a transfer, Atlético is facing an awkward situation of lacking a starting center forward. They are in dire need of reinforcements up front. The report from AS could stir up a storm in the transfer market.
It is reported that over two seasons, Álvarez, due to insufficient playing time, has been considering leaving Manchester City, with Atlético being his preferred destination. The paper provides further details, stating that Atlético is willing to offer €70 million for Álvarez, structured as a loan with a mandatory purchase clause. Currently, Manchester City has softened their stance regarding Álvarez. However, their expected price tag remains unknown. It is also uncertain whether they will accept a loan-to-buy arrangement.
Previously, reports claimed that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) had their sights set on Álvarez. They are the only team financially capable of affording the Argentine.
