Julián Álvarez recently made headlines by leaving Manchester City after two seasons to join Atlético Madrid in search of a new challenge. The Argentina international, who had a contract with City until June 2028, completed his move to Atlético for a fee of £82 million ($104m).
During his unveiling, Álvarez expressed his desire for a change in his career and stated that Atlético Madrid provides him with the tools to perform at his best. Despite scoring 19 goals in 54 appearances for City last season, he found himself playing second fiddle to Erling Haaland.
