Despite winning the FA Cup, Manchester City received the worst news thanks to Messi's friend

Julián Álvarez is also running to be one of the great entertainers of the European summer transfer market. When it seemed that Lionel Messi, Ángel Di María and Dibu Martínez were going to be the ones who were going to keep Argentine fans on edge, now the Spider has become one of the most coveted footballers of the biggest clubs on the Old Continent despite having contract with Manchester City until 2028.

The former River Plate striker was a pleasant surprise at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The native of Calchín took Lautaro Martínez's place in the middle of the competition and ended up being a key player in Argentina's consecration in the Middle East. However, upon returning to England he continued in the shadow of Erling Haaland, although every time Pep Guardiola gave him minutes he showed what he was made of.

In this context, the best teams in Europe saw in Julián a great size '9' that is not being fully exploited at City. Without going any further, Real Madrid set its eyes on him to replace Karim Benzema, who would have everything agreed to go to Saudi Arabia, but now Bayern Munich, who had also been interested, would have made Álvarez their absolute priority.

The reason why Julián Álvarez is approaching Bayern Munich

The German team have not signed any renowned center forward since Robert Lewandowski left Germany to sign for Barcelona. Now, the only pure '9' they have on the squad is Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Thomas Tuchel would have opened the exit door for him. In this context, the Bundesliga champion urgently needs a footballer for the attack center and they could shell out a fortune for Julián.
