Liverpool are on the verge of pulling off one of the most shocking transfers in recent Premier League history, as they edge closer to signing Julián Álvarez from Manchester City. Arne Slot’s side look set to lure away one of Pep Guardiola’s key attacking talents in a move that few believed possible.
Álvarez, a World Cup winner with Argentina, has impressed with his relentless work rate, versatility across the front line, and lethal finishing. While often playing second fiddle to Erling Haaland at City, Slot sees him as the main figure to spearhead Liverpool’s next era.
This potential signing goes beyond footballing value — it’s a major statement. Not only would Liverpool be strengthening their own attacking options, but they would also be weakening their closest title rival. For fans, it feels like a real shift in the Premier League’s balance of power.
Excitement has already exploded online, with many supporters calling it “the transfer of the decade” and predicting it could reshape the title race immediately. Once considered Guardiola’s hidden weapon, Álvarez could now step into the spotlight at Anfield, backed by the passion of the Kop.
The message from Liverpool is clear: this is not a rebuild, but a reload. With Álvarez leading the line, Slot’s team aim to restore Anfield’s fortress reputation and compete for every major trophy.
If the deal goes through, it would stand as one of the most remarkable transfers in recent memory — a move that underlines Liverpool’s determination to reclaim their place at the top of English football
