Manchester City have entered the race to sign Julián Álvarez in the final few days of the transfer market, according to Marca. The club is keen on a potential return for the forward, who is still facing an uncertain future at Atlético Madrid. Barcelona have been pushing for a move to sign the Argentina international, while he has also been public about his desire to join the LaLiga champions. Atlético Madrid, however, have been just as public about their desire not to sanction a move to Camp Nou.
Álvarez made 103 appearances for Manchester City in his previous spell, scoring 36 goals and assisting 19. He was part of the team that won the treble of UEFA Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup titles in 2022-23. ESPN sources confirm that Manchester City are keen on signing Julián Álvarez, and the club is working on a potential deal.
