lManchester United are reportedly gearing up to make a significant bid for Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Argentine, who previously played for Manchester City’s rivals, has impressed since joining La Liga last year, enjoying more consistent game time.
Although Alvarez showed flashes of his ability in the Premier League, he struggled to secure a regular spot at City due to the competition from Erling Haaland.
Now, rumors suggest that he might return to England. Fichajes reports that the 25-year-old is being heavily discussed at Old Trafford, with Manchester United reportedly willing to offer up to €150 million for his services.
United are actively seeking a new striker for next season, with Alvarez viewed as a significant upgrade over underperforming players like Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund. Manager Ruben Amorim is expected to welcome a high-profile player like Alvarez, though the club may need to sell some players to finance the deal.
This ambitious move won’t be cheap, but United appear determined to test Atletico’s resolve. However, Manchester City fans might not be happy to see their former player return to Manchester, especially if he joins their rivals.
It remains to be seen how Alvarez feels about a potential move, as he might be hesitant to switch clubs so soon. Additionally, with Atletico performing well this season, it’s unclear whether joining a struggling United would be the best career move for the Argentine forward.
