Man City and Atletico Madrid have agreed a deal for Julian Alvarez up to £81m (€95m). Atletico will pay £64m up front (€75m) with a further £17m of potential add-ons (€20m), which will be a record sale for City.

It represents a huge profit on the £14m they paid River Plate for the Argentina forward in January 2022. Personal terms still have to be agreed, although not expected to be a problem.

I know there is little a club can do when a player wants to move but this is another blow for City, similar to losing Gundogan. I like Alvarez so hopefully he gets the game time he deserves and continues what has been a really successful career so far.

Yeah, it is a blow to City because he can play in several positions and is a good alternative when Haaland is out of the team but it is also a great piece of business because I think they only paid something like £15m for him.

They will need to buy a replacement though.

Alvarez is now Manchester City's record sale, accepting terms for a five-year deal until 2029.

I know Haaland scores the goals but Alvarez's production for City was impressive.He is also a serial winner for club and country
