Julián Álvarez’s replacement at Manchester City could come from Real Madrid

As 90min reported, in search of a regular starting role, Julián Álvarez has made the decision to leave Manchester City this summer and will continue his career within the ranks of Atlético Madrid where he hopes to have the permanent role under Simeone that he did not enjoy with the Premier League champions. That being the case, there is a power gap in Pep’s squad, which the manager wants to fill with the possible arrival of a Real Madrid star.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Pep has put the name of Rodrygo Goes on the table of Manchester City’s management as the best replacement the club can sign after Alvarez’s departure. It is no secret that the Brazilian is a player much to the manager’s liking and in terms of financial terms, the management of the Premier League champions consider that, taking into account the income from the transfer of Julian, plus the club’s natural capital, it would be an affordable move.

In terms of sport, although Guardiola understands that the former Santos player is a winger by nature, the coach believes that he has the physical and technical potential to be a natural ’10’, that is, to play just behind Erling Haaland or even to be a false ‘9’ who can fill in for possible absences of the Norwegian, roles that Goes has fulfilled both at Madrid and in the national team. As of today, there is no type of management for his signing.
