In a stunning twist that’s bound to shake up the Premier League, Liverpool have completed the high-profile signing of Julián Álvarez from Manchester City in a deal worth €62.5 million. Following weeks of negotiations and behind-the-scenes maneuvering, personal terms were agreed earlier today, finalizing the agreement between the two Premier League powerhouses.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news with his trademark “Here we go!”, revealing that Álvarez was fully committed to joining Liverpool — despite strong interest from several top European clubs.
“Julián Álvarez to Liverpool, here we go! Full agreement sealed after personal terms were finalized today,” Romano posted. “Álvarez will fly to Liverpool — Anfield was always his priority. The Reds see him as the ideal replacement for Darwin Núñez.”
The move coincides with growing speculation that Núñez will depart Anfield this summer, with interest reportedly coming from both La Liga and Saudi clubs. For new manager Arne Slot, Álvarez fits perfectly into Liverpool’s evolving system, bringing intelligent movement, lethal finishing, and relentless work rate.
At 24, the World Cup-winning striker leaves Manchester City after a productive season, where he notched 19 goals across all competitions while playing a secondary role behind Erling Haaland. Though City fans will lament his exit, Álvarez’s desire for a leading role — coupled with Liverpool’s offer of a central place in their project — sealed the switch.
He is expected to arrive in Liverpool within the next 24 hours to complete his medical and put pen to paper on a long-term deal. His official unveiling could happen as soon as this weekend.
This transfer is a bold statement from Liverpool as they gear up to reclaim their place among the Premier League elite. The Julián Álvarez era at Anfield is officially on the horizon.
