Manchester City prepare for shock record move of star player to Spanish top flight league
Alvarez had been assigned the second option striker role at Manchester City
Alvarez, who featured prominently for City last season, is set to leave the Etihad Stadium after expressing dissatisfaction with his role.
The Argentine forward’s imminent departure could bring in as much as £81 million, providing City with a substantial sum to reinvest in their squad.
According to the English media outlet Express UK, Manchester City’s interest in Eberechi Eze has reached a critical point.
The attacking midfielder, currently with Crystal Palace, is a long-standing target for City.
Last summer, City’s approach for Eze was turned down, but with Alvarez’s exit on the horizon, the club is prepared to make a renewed push.

Gor Mahia's Alphonce Omija reflects on unforgettable experience of marking Brighton's Simon Adingra on his Harambee Stars debut
Omija has reflected on his debut for Kenya against Ivory Coast, when he managed to keep Brighton's Simon Adingra at bay.
Initial reports suggest that securing Eze could cost around £68 million. As a full England international, Eze’s addition would bolster City’s attacking options and fill the void left by Alvarez.
Meanwhile, Jack Grealish’s future at Manchester City has been a topic of speculation, especially after a challenging season that saw him miss out on England’s Euro 2024 squad.
Despite the uncertainty, Pep Guardiola has expressed unwavering support for the former Aston Villa star.
Guardiola remains confident in Grealish’s ability to return to his best form. The City manager noted that while Grealish struggled last season, he is optimistic that Grealish will regain his previous level of performance.
Guardiola emphasized that Grealish’s contribution to City’s treble-winning campaign two seasons ago still holds value and believes that the player will rebound strongly.
With the potential acquisition of Eze and Guardiola’s endorsement of Grealish, City’s plans for the upcoming season are beginning to take shape.
