โJuliรกn รlvarez to Liverpool, here we go! Full agreement sealed after personal terms were finalized today,โ Romano posted. โรlvarez will fly to Liverpool โ Anfield was always his priority. The Reds see him as the ideal replacement for Darwin Nรบรฑez.โ
The move coincides with growing speculation that Nรบรฑez will depart Anfield this summer, with interest reportedly coming from both La Liga and Saudi clubs. For new manager Arne Slot, รlvarez fits perfectly into Liverpoolโs 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, รlvarezโs desire for a leading role โ coupled with Liverpoolโs offer of a central place in their project โ 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 Juliรกn รlvarez era at Anfield is officially on the horizon.
