In the middle of preseason, Guardiola's message about Julian Alvarez that angers Haaland

Manchester City is getting ready to officially start its tour in Asia. The Citizens are already on their way to Japan, where they will play several friendly matches. However, in the first training sessions of the club after winning the championship, an unexpected message from Pep Guardiola about Julian Alvarez went viral and it seems that Erling Haaland will not like it at all.

The Cordoba-born striker arrived at Manchester City to have his first season in Europe after dazzling at River Plate and knew he could have a tough competition with Erling Haaland. However, in the Qatar 2022 World Cup he ended up being a starter and key player of the Argentina National Team and then put pressure on the Norwegian with important goals, but Guardiola did not use him in decisive instances.

Now, although Julian's qualities were more than evident both in Qatar 2022 and in Manchester, Pep Guardiola brought up the real reason that led to the purchase of the native of Calchin. "My favorite player to sign is that he is a good person. With a high ego, but not that high. I'm not so interested in his skills, I know the scouts will introduce me to good players, they are not fools."

Manchester City is happy with Julian Alvarez

Although the club is happy with the Spider, so much so that they have renewed him until 2028, the player who was born in River knows that he is at an ideal age to exploit his potential and does not want to waste it sitting on the bench.Julian has already been approached by Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but he will stay in England for one more year waiting for more minutes.
