According to the same source, Alvarez is looking to get more minutes on the pitch. City have no intention of selling him or communicating a price to the market. Despite this, PSG appear to be one of those interested in the player.
Last season, Julián played 54 matches for the Manchester team, starting 39 of them. However, the striker did not have many minutes in the decisive games, such as the Champions League quarter-final duel, in which the Citizens were eliminated by Real Madrid, and the final stretch of the English Championship.
In total, the Argentine scored 19 goals and provided 13 assists during the 2023/24 season. Álvarez was the third player who scored the most goals, behind only Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.
The striker will be looking for his fourth title with the Argentine national team this Sunday. Previously, he won the World Cup (2022), the Copa América (2021) and the Conmebol-UEFA Champions Cup (2022).
