Julian Alvarez 'open' to Man City departure and other transfer rumours

Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez would be "open" to leaving the Etihad Stadium this summer - according to reports - should he continue to play second fiddle to Erling Haaland.

Alvarez, 23, signed for City last January while he was loaned back to boyhood side River Plate before touching down in the UK a few months later. He has scored 10 goals and provided two assists in 30 outings for City since then, although many of his appearances have come from the substitutes bench.

By contrast, Norway sensation Haaland is striking at a goal-per-game since his own arrival, while the two have rarely played in tandem. Alvarez underlined his burgeoning reputation at the World Cup in Qatar as he won the golden trophy alongside his Argentina teammates.
