Argentine forward Julian Alvarez wanted a change in his career after a short but trophy-laden spell at Premier League club Manchester City and the 24-year-old said on Friday he was excited about starting a new challenge at Atletico Madrid.

His exit marked a record sale for City, eclipsing the 50 million pounds Chelsea paid for England winger Raheem Sterling in 2022. "I felt I needed a change in my career, looking for a new challenge and I feel this is a club that gives me the space to have my best version as a footballer," Alvarez told reporters at his presentation ceremony as a new Atletico player.
"I'd like to play, I'm always available in any position and as long as I'm on the pitch to help the team I'll be happy," he said.
