In a stunning development that will shake up the Premier League, Liverpool have officially secured the signing of Julian Álvarez from Manchester City for €62.5 million. Following weeks of negotiations, personal terms were finalized earlier today, enabling a full agreement between the two clubs.
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news with his trademark “Here we go!”, revealing that Álvarez was determined to join Liverpool despite interest from top European sides.
“Julian Álvarez to Liverpool, here we go! Deal done after personal terms agreed,” Fabrizio shared. “He only wanted Anfield, and the Reds viewed him as the ideal replacement for Darwin Núñez.”
Álvarez’s arrival coincides with reports suggesting Núñez will depart Liverpool this summer, with La Liga and Saudi clubs expressing interest. Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, along with the club’s leadership, sees Álvarez as a perfect fit — praised for his dynamic movement, clinical finishing, and strong work ethic.
At 24, Álvarez departs Manchester City having netted 19 goals across all competitions last season, largely playing a supporting role to Erling Haaland. While City supporters may regret his departure, his ambition to take on a more prominent role helped push the deal through.
Álvarez is scheduled to arrive in Liverpool within the next day for a medical and to finalize the transfer. He is set to sign a long-term contract and could be officially unveiled by the weekend.
This transfer signals Liverpool’s intent to compete for the Premier League title once more. The Julian Álvarez era at Anfield is just beginning.
