Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez is leaving for Atletico and represents a huge success for the scouting department
The Argentine striker is heading to Atletico in a deal worth up to £82m and his minutes, goals and assists will need to be replaced.
After two-and-a-half years, City are getting a humongous profit for a player who now wants a new challenge. It smashes the previous club record sale and allows the Blues to reinvest in the squad. Teenage midfielder Claudio Echeverri was signed for an initial £12.5m back in January and the midfielder has continued to evolve at River Plate. The 18-year-old joined Alvarez in the Argentina squad for the Olympics this summer.
