Alvarez Open to Premier League Return Amidst Chelsea Interest
20 Jan
Summary
- Chelsea have inquired about signing former Man City forward Julian Alvarez.
- Barcelona also interested in Alvarez as Lewandowski replacement.
- Atletico Madrid has placed a €100 million price tag on Alvarez.
Chelsea have reportedly entered the race to sign Julian Alvarez, formerly of Manchester City, as they seek to strengthen their offensive capabilities. The Argentine forward is considered a prime target, with the Blues aiming to capitalize on his current situation.
Barcelona has also expressed significant interest in Alvarez, viewing him as an ideal long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski, whose contract is set to expire. Atletico Madrid has reportedly valued Alvarez at €100 million, setting a high bar for any potential transfer.
Alvarez himself has previously spoken about the possibility of leaving Atletico Madrid, indicating he is not bothered by transfer speculation and remains focused on his current team. He has a close relationship with Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez, having been roommates and friends since their youth.
The forward's move to Atletico Madrid has not entirely met expectations, despite his scoring record at the Spanish club exceeding that of his Premier League stint. The potential transfer saga is unfolding as the summer transfer window approaches.
