Barcelona have reportedly enquired about signing Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez. The striker has had a strange time at City thus far since moving from Argentina in the summer.
Despite showing immense quality on the biggest stage at the World Cup, Alvarez has had trouble getting consistent minutes at City. The presence of a certain Erling Haaland means he may continue to find life frustrating.
Yet getting consistent minutes at City when being a top-tier player is nothing new, the depth being immense, so a loan move to Barcelona may be feasible. Barcelona would welcome a temporary transfer that keeps the books light, given the club’s financial situation.
