As a result, what occurred? El Chiringuito reports that Alvarez is keen to pursue a new opportunity and has turned down a four-year contract offer from Manchester City. Reports indicate that both Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in the World Cup winner, but they will need to offer at least £70 million (€81 million/$89 million) to persuade him to leave the Etihad.
**THE BIGGER PICTURE**
Losing Alvarez would be a significant blow for City. While he may not have the same profile as Haaland or Kevin De Bruyne, the Argentina international has been vital to Pep Guardiola’s squad. Since joining in 2022, his contributions as a substitute or when the Norwegian star is unavailable have played a key role in City’s Premier League dominance.
**DID YOU KNOW?**
At just 24 years old, Alvarez has already amassed an impressive array of titles, including the FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, World Cup, Copa America, and Premier League. His success is evident from his 32 goals in 54 appearances for City last season.
**WHAT’S NEXT FOR CITY AND ALVAREZ?**
Alvarez’s current plan is to wait for a chance to move to a new team. With his contract running until 2028, he will join his teammates for preseason training and participate in a tour of the United States.
