Manchester City fans have been reacting to the news that Julian Alvarez could be set to join the club.
MEN Sport confirmed today that, according to reports in Argentina, the 21-year-old has already been the subject of a bid from Pep Guardiola's side.
Alvarez has been in red hot form for River Plate this season scoring a hatful of goals for his domestic team.
His scoring record had led to him becoming desired by the red half of Manchester however the Old Trafford club have seemingly been overtaken by the Citizens in the race for him.
Alvarez is said to have a £16.75million release clause in his contract, but River want to keep him until the summer.
Any move that City make for Alvarez would not see him replace Sergio Aguero either, despite them sharing a nationality.
It is believed that Guardiola would look to loan Alvarez to one of City's European sister clubs before introducing him into the first team environment.
This means the signature of the forward would not impact on potential moves for Erling Haaland or Harry Kane.
City fans have been sharing their reaction to the news on social media, take a look at what they have to say below.
