River Plate president Jorge Brito has confirmed that striker Julian Alvarez will be joining Manchester City, insisting it is a "done deal."
City, who resume their campaign with an FA Cup tie against Championship side Fulham next Saturday afternoon, have been hot on the heels of the Argentine striker and have now agreed a deal, understood to be around £17.9million, to seal his signature.
Although City have not yet confirmed the arrival of the striker, River Plate president Brito has announced that a deal has been completed, which will see the 21-year-old become the club's first signing of the January transfer window.
