Atletico Sign Alvarez From City

Aug 13, 2024

Atletico Madrid have completed the signing of Man City striker Julian Alvarez.

He joins the Spanish club on a six-year deal worth 81.5 million pounds.

Alvarez won six major trophies during his two-year spell with City…but was only their second-choice striker behind Erling Haaland.

The transfer is also a record sale for City – surpassing the 50 million pounds they received for selling Raheem Sterling to Chelsea.
