Pep Guardiola has added both Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez to Manchester City‘s roster ahead of the 2022/23 Premier League season, which begins onAugust 5. The 22-year-old will likely serve as a backup for now, given the arrival of the Norwegian.
However, the Spaniard’s continuous rotation of the squad means that his playing time may not be severely restricted. Manchester City had previously agreed to sign the Argentine striker, who played his last game for River Plate on Sunday, June 3.
Following his January arrival, he was loaned back to hisprevious club until the remainder of the season.Alvarez’s flexibility may potentially play a role in how often he plays.Despite being a striker, hecan also play on the wing, which bodes well for his prospects of breaking into the starting lineup at some point in the season.
Julian Alvarez’s contract with Manchester City
In terms of cost, Alvarez’s £14.1 million transfer price to Manchester City is rather low, making his long-term value even more attractive.According to River Plate president Jorge Brito, the deal was made possible because of a release provision in his contract that permitted him to go. After signing a five-and-a-half-year with the Sky Blues, the forward will remain in England untilthe summer of 2027 at the very earliest.
How much willJulian Alvarez make a week?
He is contractually paidup to a total annual remuneration of about £2.6 million.Taking this into account,Julian Alvarez would earn about£216,000permonth or£50,000 a week. That would make it nearly£10,000a day,or around£1,250per hour, or£52per minute.
