Man City and Atletico Madrid have agreed a deal for Julian Alvarez worth up to £81m (€95m).
Talks have been progressing well between the clubs over the last 24 hours. Atletico will pay £64m up front (€75m) with a further £17m of potential add-ons (€20m), which will be a record sale for City.
It represents a huge profit on the £14m the Premier League champions paid River Plate for the Argentina forward in January 2022.
Personal terms still have to be agreed, although this is not expected to be a problem.
