The full extent of Manchester City’s investment in 21-year-old Argentina whizzkid Julian Alvarez have been revealed.
The Blues are set to finalise a deal for the South American Footballer of the Year for an initial £17.9million - but Alvarez will remain at his club River Plate on loan until later in the year.
Sources in Argentina claim the deal is currently being finalised after the basics were thrashed out at a meeting of City ’s South American recruitment team with River representatives late last week.
