Atletico Madrid submit improved bid for Julian Alvarez

Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez, who has hinted that he could depart the Etihad Stadium this summer, has a conundrum on his hands as it is understood that Atletico Madrid this evening have submitted a renewed offer of 75 million euros, up from their last bid of 70 million euros. City are ready to sell with World Cup winning attacker, but only at the right price.

Alvarez has grown increasingly frustrated that he is not the first choice forward at Man City, as Erling Haaland continues to occupy the forward position and the limelight at the Premier League champions.

However, with City possibly facing sanctions this year with regards to previous transfer spending, the club could sell some players this summer. Alvarez is also wanted by Paris Saint Germain, but the opportunity to link up with fellow countryman Diego Simeone at Atleti may be difficult to turn down.

Alvarez has been in talks with Pep Guardiola regarding his future since March of this year, and Man City CEO Ferran Soriano is said to be open to letting the striker leave.
