Sudan Events – Agencies\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Argentina striker Julian Alvarez joined Atletico Madrid from Manchester City in a deal reportedly worth more than $103 million on Monday, ending his trophy-laden two-year spell at the English champions.<\/p>\n

City manager Pep Guardiola said last week that Alvarez told him he wanted to leave for a new challenge.<\/p>\n

Alvarez left Argentine team River Plate in 2022 for 14 million pounds (now $17.8 million) and helped City win the Premier League in both seasons he was in England, as well as the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

In 103 appearances in all competitions, Alvarez scored 36 goals.<\/p>\n

However, despite being first choice for Argentina, he was behind Erling Haaland in the City pecking order.<\/p>\n

City could reportedly get up to 95 million euros ($104 million) for the 24-year-old Alvarez.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday I say goodbye to this amazing club, with a lot of emotion,” he said. \u201cThese have been two very special years. During this time, I have grown and learnt a lot \u2014 both as a player and as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n

City director of football Txiki Begiristain said Alvarez’s “attitude has been first-class since he first walked through the door here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why he has improved so much,\u201d Begiristain added. \u201cThe trophies he has won already tell their own story \u2014 he is a winner. I look forward to watching him develop further in the remainder of his career.\u201d<\/p>\n

City\u2019s only signing in this transfer window is Brazil winger Savio.<\/p>\n

Asked if City would be replacing Alvarez in the squad ahead of the new season, which starts on Friday, Guardiola said last week: \u201cI don\u2019t know yet. We talk every day, we see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
