Manchester City have slapped a £60m asking price on Chelsea target Julian Alvarez, who is angling for a move from the club this summer. Alvarez moved to City for £14m from River Plate in January 2022 and has 36 goals and 18 assists in 103 appearances for the club across all competitions.

Chelsea may also struggle to stump up the funds but are in the market for a new striker to compete with Nicolas Jackson and have identified Alavarez as a good option according to a report. ‘Manchester City’s Argentine striker has proven his worth and Chelsea want him to compete with Nico Jackson for the starting spot up front. The arrival of Álvarez would provide more options and dynamism in the Blues’ attack.’

Chelsea told what it will take to complete Julian Alvarez transfer

It’s understood that Alvarez could be priced out of a move abroad with City demanding a transfer fee of around £60m, which would represent a gigantic profit compared to the £18m they paid for him from River Plate two years ago. City will also be looking for around £17m in add-ons, making a deal expensive for any interested party.

Chelsea is among those that have been linked with Alvarez as Enzo Maresca tries to bolster his forward line this summer. Atletico Madrid are also thought to be tracking the situation, although they are reportedly unwilling to match City’s demands, meaning a deal is off the table unless both clubs can reach a compromise.
