Argentine sensation Julian Alvarez will arrive in Manchester this weekend to be unveiled alongside Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips... as 22-year-old vows he will 'flourish' at City under Pep Guardiola after leaving River Plate

Manchester City have announced Julian Alvarez will arrive at the club this weekend after departing River Plate.

Alvarez, 22, signed for Manchester City in January in a deal worth £14m but was loaned back to River Plate until the end of the South American campaign. His final game for the Buenos Aires club came in their 0-0 second leg draw with Velez in the Copa Libertadores, with River being eliminated 1-0 on aggregate.

Announcing his imminent arrival, City said that he would be unveiled alongside fellow new signings Kalvin Phillips, Erling Haaland and Stefan Ortega Moreno.
