Manchester City have added January transfer signing Julian Alvarez to their Premier League squad list for the current 2021/22 season, despite the fact that he will spend the rest of the campaign on loan at River Plate.
City confirmed the signing of Argentine international Alvarez on transfer deadline day, for an initial £14.1m, and he will remain at River until at least July. Should they get out of the Copa Libertadores group stage, he could remain at his boyhood club until the end of 2022.
However, Alvarez's name has appeared on the updated Premier League squad list for the current season, with the league publishing the latest squads for all teams after the January transfer window. Alvarez is included as an under-21 player, who does not count to the maximum 25-man squad limits.
