Not Haaland nor Vlahovic, Real Madrid's second choice if Mbappé's signing falls

Real Madrid is one of the teams that best strengthens itself year after year, or at least, is obliged to do so. Real Madrid wants Kylian Mbappé, and that is no secret, however, there is a scenario in which Mbappé renews with Paris Saint-Germain and rejects Real Madrid again. In that case, the meringues are already thinking of Julian Alvarez as plan B.

In December 2022, Julián Álvarez won the World Cup with his team, then became champion of the Premier League and the Champions League with Manchester City and has now received a nomination for the best player in the Premier League in the month of September. And this despite the fact that Guardiola has managed his time, making him rotate between the bench and starting position. The young former River Plate player is having a moment of luxury and Sport has said that Madrid constantly has him on their agenda.

However, in recent times after the injury of some of his teammates, he made the most of the minutes that the technical director has given him, becoming a key piece for the team. To the satisfaction of Pep Guardiola and all citizens, the 23-year-old attacker has shown that he can play wherever he is placed, even with a tremendous scorer like Erling Haaland at his side.

Real Madrid's monitoring of Julián Álvarez is constant and there would be no need to make a mega offer for him if the player continues scoring goals and being one of the most important players at Manchester City. His current market value is 60 million, according to transfermark, but it should not be ruled out that this continues to rise week by week.

The impressive numbers of Julián Álvarez at City

Since his arrival at Manchester City, Julián Álvarez has participated in 61 games, scored 23 goals and provided 8 assists. He has even had the luxury of scoring goals from free kicks lately, which makes him a very complete player. Quick to put pressure on the opponent, precise in passing and finishing. It seems that he hasn't even needed to adapt because he has performed from the first moment.
