Pep Guardiola trembles, Real Madrid's decision to sign Julian Alvarez for a millionaire price

Manchester City has a clear position on Julián Álvarez: they want to keep him. However, the lack of minutes against a superlative Erling Haaland and the strong interest from some of the best clubs in the world could tip the balance of the Cordovan. Now, information that emerged in the last few hours would bring the Spider closer to Real Madrid.

To date, Florentino Pérez had expected that Karim Benzema would remain, at least, until 2024 in the Spanish capital. However, there is a juicy offer for the Frenchman that would get him out of Madrid sooner rather than later. As reported by the Relevo portal, Gato was offered a salary of 200 million euros per season from Saudi Arabia, and the '9' would be seriously considering accepting it.

In this context, if Benzema's departure materializes, the main one targeted by the White House directive is Julián Álvarez. Merengue knows that the options for Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland are very difficult, while Harry Kane -another of those they had in the portfolio- is already 30 years old and his signing would not be long-term.

Julián Álvarez would complete the replacement of Real Madrid

Despite the fact that they won three consecutive Champions Leagues at the hands of Zinedine Zidane, Florentino did not want to neglect building a squad for the future, and signed several promising young footballers who are headlines today such as Vinicius, Eder Militao, Rodrygo or Eduardo Camavinga. Julián, for his part, would be the missing piece to occupy the position of center forward, the only position on the field in which they have not yet found a significant replacement.
