‘We Can’t Wait Much Longer’ ‘Let Him Go’ ‘He Won’t Leave’ Manchester City Fans React To £76M Striker Wanting Out

Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez has told the club that he is considering his options on whether to remain at the Etihad.

The Argentine wants more game time in key moments which he is currently struggling to get thanks to Erling Haaland’s presence in the team.

Pep Guardiola has emphasized Alvarez’ importance to his City side and has said that he would like to keep the 23-year-old. Upon hearing the news, Manchester City fans have taken to X to voice their opinions on Alvarez’s comments.


Julian Alvarez’s hint at leaving Manchester City

The Argentina international spoke to BBC Sport whilst at the Olympics with his national team. He said: “I am focused here [at the Olympics] because it is a short tournament. At Manchester City I feel very good, I played a lot of minutes.

“But we will see after the Games. First, if I can, I will take a few days off. Then we will decide.”

Premier League rivals interested in Alvarez

Arsenal and Chelsea are both reportedly keen on the 23-year-old as they are both looking to upgrade at the striker position. Alvarez could follow in the footsteps of both Gabriel Jesus and Cole Palmer by moving to a Premier League rival.

Manchester City wants at least a fee of £59 million upfront if they are to sell Alvarez, but the Cityzens have made it clear that they would rather keep him.
