The Argentine team entered the grand final of the World Cup in Qatar, after beating Croatia 3-0, at the Lusail stadium. Despite the fact that Lionel Messi was chosen as the figure of the match, Julián Álvarez also shone with the 'Flea' and already has four goals in the tournament. Now, the European team that regrets not having signed the 'Spider' before arriving at Manchester City is revealed.

Julián Álvarez's present is spectacular. He managed to win ownership over Lautaro Martínez and became Lionel Messi's main partner in the attack zone. Against Croatia, after a play by Maradona, he increased the advantage and closed the win with a subtle touch, after a pass from the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7).

The social networks exploded with the performance of the 'Spider' and from Spain they remembered that FC Barcelona wasted the opportunity to sign him before he signed for Manchester City. When the Catalans were looking for a striker in 2021, the possibility of signing the former River Plate player appeared, but the board decided not to bet on the Argentine team.

How much did Julián Álvarez cost Manchester City?

At the beginning of 2022, Manchester City confirmed the purchase of Julián Álvarez in exchange for 21 million. In the middle of this season he reached the Premier League and demonstrated his condition. He has seven goals in all the competitions that he played with the 'citizens' and left a message for Pep Guardiola, who trusts Erling Haaland as the starting striker.
