Julián Álvarez will wear red and white next season. It seems only a matter of time before his signing with Atlético Madrid is announced. In fact, The Athletic already reports a total agreement between the Spanish club and Manchester City.

The deal, including fixed and variable payments, would exceed $100 million.

According to the same source, Atlético would pay between $81 and $92 million upfront, with the rest being performance-based variables, reaching a maximum of $103 million.

However, as reported by the newspaper AS, Atlético has not yet finalized the deal and insists that some details still need to be resolved.

Among these details are several departures, such as Samu Omorodion, to balance the books and enable Atlético to make such a significant signing.

More Prominence

One of Julián Álvarez's complaints was his lack of prominence in major matches with Manchester City, especially with Haaland drawing all the spotlight.

At Atlético, he is guaranteed a prominent role from day one, with the chance to become a franchise player.

His move to the red and white team seems just a matter of time, as everything eventually falls into place, and it looks like Julián's place is with Atlético Madrid.
