In a stunning Premier League development, Liverpool have officially signed Julian Álvarez from Manchester City in a transfer worth €62.5 million. Following weeks of intense negotiations and discreet discussions, both clubs have reached a full agreement, with personal terms finalized earlier today.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed the deal with his trademark “Here we go!” announcement, revealing that Álvarez was determined to join Liverpool — despite interest from several top European sides.
“Julian Álvarez to Liverpool, here we go! Full agreement in place after personal terms were settled today,” Romano posted. “Álvarez is heading to Anfield as he made it clear that Liverpool was his only choice… and they see him as the ideal replacement for Darwin Núñez.”
Reports suggest that Núñez is likely to leave Liverpool this summer, with clubs in Spain and Saudi Arabia showing interest. New Liverpool boss Arne Slot, along with the club’s board, views Álvarez as a perfect fit for their tactical plans — offering pace, precision finishing, and relentless energy.
The 24-year-old Argentine forward, a World Cup winner, departs Manchester City after scoring 19 goals last season while serving mainly as a backup to Erling Haaland. Although City supporters will be disappointed to lose him, Álvarez’s ambition for a more prominent role and Liverpool’s offer of a key position played a crucial role in the move.
Álvarez is expected to arrive in Liverpool within the next day for his medical and to complete the formalities. He will sign a long-term contract and could be officially unveiled before the weekend.
