In the past two weeks, the 24-year-old striker has been very outspoken about his lack of playing time at Manchester City. Known as “La Araña,” Julián Álvarez is one of world soccer’s serial winners, having won every major championship a player can achieve at such a young age.
Still, Álvarez has been in the shadow of Erling Haaland, and with the way Pep Guardiola is setting up the new season, Álvarez is likely to continue playing the role of a super sub.
Now, according to Gastón Edul and various other outlets, Julián Álvarez is set to move to LaLiga and play for Atlético de Madrid.
