ManCitytransfer news — Julian Alvarez
Transfer insider Dean Jones recently informedGIVEMESPORTthatCitywill not allow Alvarez to join Bayern this summer.
It comes after Falk ɾєρօɾτed thatthe Bundesliga side are interested in signing the 23-year-oldif they fail to land Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane.
Alvarez was brilliant forCitylast term, so you can see why a club like Bayern would want him. In 49 appearances, he scored 17 goals, as perTransfermarkt.
The Argentina international, who won the World Cup with his nation towards the єɴԀ of 2022, is currently valued at around £85m by theCIES Football Observatory.
What has Christian Falk said about Julian Alvarez and Bayern Munich?
Falk has told GIVEMESPORT that Bayern held a meeting last Tuesday and Alvarez’s name was mentioned during it.
On the German champions andCityStar, the journalist said:”They don’t have, at the moment, a head of sport since Hasan Salihamidzic was fired. That’s why there is always a group of people. I call them the ‘Magnificent Seven’ because there are seven people on the board and in talks.
“Thomas Tuchel is one of them and they had a meeting last Tuesday. And there they discussed names and one of the names was Julian Alvarez.”
What is the latest news on Kyle Walker’s potential move to Bayern Munich?
Alvarez is obviously not the onlyCityplayer Bayern are interested in. The six-time Champions League winners are keen on Walker, too, and it looks like they have a very good chance of getting him.
According toThe Athletic, the defєɴԀer has reached a verbal agreement with Bayern to join them this summer.
A Ԁєɑł is not done yet, though, withCityand their German counterparts still needing to agree a fee over a transfer. Walker is out of contract in 2024, so the decision-makers at the Allianz Arena will be hoping that he does not cost too much money.
and thinks Pep Guardiola may be partly to Ƅłɑмє.
His time at the Etihad has been a successful one, with the right-back having managed to win the Premier League on five occasions and the Champions League once. His spell in blue, though, looks like it could be coming to an єɴԀ.
The same, however, cannot be said about Alvarez. While Bayern may be interested in him, the former River Plate man has not been at the European champions for too long. He is definitely not someone Guardiola and the club are going to want to lose so soon, especially after the impact he has made.
