After the great success of bringing in Palmer last year, Chelsea have once again set their sights on Manchester City, this time with the player they want being Alvarez. However, Manchester City may be demanding a huge sum.
According to football.london, Chelsea might need to spend over £70 million to sign Alvarez, as Manchester City hopes to avoid repeating the mistake of letting Palmer go for a low price last year. Last year, Chelsea signed Palmer for £45 million, and he subsequently became the club’s best player this season.
Alvarez is currently in an awkward position at Manchester City. He started 31 games in the Premier League last season, but only played in two out of ten Champions League matches after De Bruyne’s return. Meanwhile, Chelsea are looking for a new forward, and Alvarez is one of their targets.
However, the media also reports that Chelsea’s management is reluctant to spend big money on a forward, even though signing one is the club’s top priority right now. They are currently very uneasy about the price tag on Alvarez.
