At just about any other club, Julian Alvarez would be a sure-fire starter, so how will Manchester City keep the Argentine happy amid transfer rumours to Real Madrid?
Julian Alvarez was Manchester City’s second-highest goalscorer across all competitions last season, behind Erling Haaland
Carrot on a stick Many view the Argentine as the continuation plan for when Haaland leaves the club. In previous years the Norwegian has been clear in his desire to play for a variety of clubs including Real Madrid, but with City winning a treble last year it is hard to see last year’s Golden Boot winner moving on anytime soon.
Number 10 So far this season, Guardiola has deployed three players to play just behind Haaland, and Alvarez seems to have flourished playing in the ’10 role’ just behind Haaland. It has seen Alvarez score two goals and chip in with an assist in his four league games so far this season. Out Wide On one of the biggest stages in world football, Alvarez showed just how good he is on the ball and when running with it at pace. Cast your mind back to Argentina’s World Cup semi-final to when a 22-year-old Alvarez carried the ball from just inside of his own half to finish and put his nation 2-0 up.
