Argentina's main striker Alvarez is currently representing Argentina in the Olympic men's football team as an overage player, and the team has advanced to the knockout stage and faced the host France in the quarter-finals. Alvarez said in a previous interview that he would seriously consider the future and would decide whether to leave the team after the Olympics because he was unhappy with his playing time at Manchester City!
In this regard, Germany Transfer Market counted Alvarez's appearances at Manchester City last season:Alvarez made 54 appearances in the 59 games available for Manchester City last season, starting 39 of them, with a 91 per cent appearance rate and a 66 per cent start rate, which is the fourth highest in the Manchester City team, behind Erling Haaland (91 per cent), Foden (83 per cent) and B (81 per cent)。
Why Alvarez wants to leave? The reason is very simple, as Haaland is Pep Guardiola's striker of choice, and Alvarez is the backup striker as long as Haaland remains fit. Haaland is worth 180 million euros, twice as much as Alvarez, but Haaland has been silent in all the finals of his Manchester City career, and he will be invisible in tough battles, while Norway is star-studded and worth 9th in Europe, but cannot participate in Euro 2024, where 24 teams participate, while Alvarez is a major player for the national team and the main striker of Argentina, the winner of the 2024 Copa America. Now that Pep Guardiola has chosen Haaland, it is completely understandable that Alvarez would leave the team for the main position. What do you think about this?
