According to sources in Spain, Chelsea is currently working on a bid to acquire the talented Julian Alvarez from Manchester City. It seems that Chelsea's interest in the Argentine forward has caught the attention of Manchester City, who have already rejected an offer from Atletico Madrid for Alvarez.
Alvarez has just completed his second season with Manchester City, where he impressively scored 19 goals. He was a key player in Pep Guardiola's team, who made history by winning their fourth consecutive Premier League title. In fact, Alvarez appeared in 54 matches across all competitions and was among the top eight City players in terms of minutes played.
However, it has been reported by Marca that Alvarez is considering a move in order to gain more recognition, as he is aware that he will always be in the shadow of Erling Haaland at City. It is believed that Atletico Madrid has already approached City about a potential deal for Alvarez, but the Premier League champions have firmly rejected the idea.
Despite City's firm stance, Chelsea is still determined to pursue Alvarez. The Blues have a good relationship with City, having previously signed players such as Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling. They also have Mateo Kovacic, who made the switch from Stamford Bridge to the Etihad Stadium last summer. However, convincing City to let go of Alvarez will not be an easy task, given his proven versatility and goal-scoring abilities since joining the Premier League.
Paris Saint-Germain is also interested in signing Alvarez before the start of the next season. The French club is looking for a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who recently joined Real Madrid. They have also considered Victor Osimhen, but Napoli's demand for his €130 million release clause has made the deal difficult.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has ruled themselves out of the race for Osimhen, citing the high costs involved in the transfer. The Blues have already faced challenges in acquiring top players due to their expensive price tags. However, they are still determined to strengthen their squad and have set their sights on acquiring Alvarez from City.
As the transfer window continues, it remains to be seen if Chelsea will be successful in their pursuit of Alvarez or if City will stand firm in their decision to keep the talented forward. One thing is for sure, fans can expect a lot of drama and twists in the transfer market as clubs battle it out for their top targets.
