Julian Alvarez: Atletico Madrid sign forward from Man City for £82m | Football News

Atletico Madrid have completed an £82m deal to sign Argentina forward Julian Alvarez from Manchester City.

Alvarez, who was not involved in City’s Community Shield win over Manchester United on Saturday, has signed a six-year contract with Diego Simeone’s side.

He trades Manchester for Madrid after two-and-a-half wildly successful years in sky blue, during which he collected six trophies while netting 36 goals in 103 appearances.

Having arrived from River Plate in a deal worth £14m in January 2022, the 24-year-old’s sale represents a huge profit for City.
