Julian Alvarez’s move to Atletico Madrid has set a new record for Manchester City . The 24-year-old will be the most expensive sale in Man City’s history.

Alvarez suddenly left Man City at the start of the 2024/2025 season. His relationship with Pep Guardiola suddenly broke down because of Alvarez’s desire to be guaranteed regular playing minutes.

Soon, Atletico came to offer Man City. Negotiations went smoothly, both between Atletico and Man City and Atletico with Alvarez.

In the end, a verbal agreement between the parties was reached. Man City, financially, profited greatly from Alvarez’s transfer. Check out the full review below, Wefootballers.

Man City Profit Calculations

Man City brought in Julian Alvarez from River Plate at the start of the 2022/2023 season. Chelsea bought Alvarez after he performed well and scored double digit goals in a row in the 2021 and 2022 seasons (half a season).

Alvarez is believed to have great talent. So, how much money did Man City spend to buy Alvarez from River Plate? Only £17 million!

After two years at Man City, Alvarez will be sold to Atletico for a maximum of £82m. That figure includes potential add-ons that can only be claimed through certain achievements.

Well, with the calculations above, Man City has a profit of £68 million from the Alvarez transfer saga. That value is around Rp1.3 trillion!

Why Does Julian Alvarez Want to Move?

Man City should be the ideal place for Julian Alvarez. He is at a club that is competing for trophies, both at European and domestic level.

However, Julian Alvarez wanted another way. The Argentine national team player chose to leave Man City for two big reasons.

The first reason, according to The Athletic , is the unclear position of Julian Alvarez in the front line. He is in the shadow of Erling Haaland. The second reason is the weather in Manchester which makes Alvarez uncomfortable.
