Julian Alvarez transfer: Atletico Madrid agree £81m fee to sign Man City and Argentina forward | Football News | Sky Sports
Man City and Atletico Madrid have agreed a deal for Julian Alvarez worth up to £82m (€95m).
Talks have been progressing well between the clubs over the last 24 hours. Atletico will pay £64m (€75m) up front with the remainder of the fee coming in add-ons, and it will be a record sale for City.
It represents a huge profit on the £14m the Premier League champions paid River Plate for the Argentina forward in January 2022.
Personal terms have been agreed between Alvarez and Atletico.
