Guardiola's answer to the possibility of Julián Álvarez leaving Manchester City

The name of Julián Álvarez has been making a lot of noise in Europe recently and this is due to the high level that the Argentine has shown at Manchester City and also in the Argentine National Team. Given the injury of Kevin De Bruyne, coach Josep Guardiola has given the young 23-year-old forward an opportunity as a starter and he has put the team on his shoulders during the start of this season, being the most decisive player of the Sky Blue team.

For this reason, according to Sport, Julián Álvarez is being followed by FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, who will compete in 'El Clásico' in the summer transfer market trying to hire the Argentine goalscorer. According to the media, the player would be delighted to reach the Spanish League, so his departure could take place next summer and now, Guardiola's own words have been leaked.

The truth is that the Manchester City coach does not want the forward to leave the club, but if he wishes, he will not put any obstacles in his way: "If Julián asks us to leave and brings the transfer money that we need... We don't want him to leave, but if he requests it we can't do anything", was what Pep Guardiola said, according to what Defensa Central tells us. Could it be that Julián Álvarez ends up arriving in Spain?

How much money is Julián Álvarez worth?

In the month of March of this 2023, the Argentine National Team player renewed his contract until June 30, 2028, so the club that wants him should negotiate directly with Manchester City to be able to obtain his transfer. According to Defensa Central, Julián would have reached a private agreement with the directors of the English team to let him leave the club for an offer of 50 million euros, making his departure from England easier. Others speak of more than 80 million.
