Manchester City have signed the River Plate forward Julián Álvarez on a deal until 2027, paying an initial £14m for the Argentina international. The 22-year-old will continue on loan at the Argentinian club until at least July.
The highly sought-after Álvarez has five caps and the City director of football, Txiki Begiristain, said: “Julián is a player we have monitored for some time. He is capable of operating in a number of attacking roles, and we firmly believe he’s one of the best young attacking players in South America.
