Real Madrid Eyes Manchester City’s Star as Forward Reinforcement

Real Madrid’s need for additional firepower in the forward department is no secret, as the club currently faces a shortage of options in the attacking positions. This shortage has even prompted Carlo Ancelotti to adjust his tactical system to maximize the available squad. While Ancelotti’s future at Santiago Bernabeu remains uncertain, it is clear that Los Blancos must make new additions.

For a while, the prevailing rumors pointed to Erling Haaland as Real Madrid’s top target to bolster their forward line. However, in recent weeks, another player from Manchester City has emerged as a significant target for Real Madrid.

Julian Alvarez is enjoying a standout season, with many believing that he is currently outperforming Haaland. His impressive performances have solidified his place in the Manchester City lineup, with statistics from Transfermarkt showing that he has notched 7 goals and provided 5 assists in 15 appearances this campaign.

Real Madrid faces £80 million price tag for Manchester City player Securing the services of the Argentine World Cup winner would not come easy, as Football Insider reports that a bid of at least £80 million would be required for Manchester City to consider parting ways with Alvarez. If Alvarez maintains his current level of performance throughout the season, this valuation is likely to increase in the coming months.

It’s worth noting that Manchester City typically does not impede player departures if they express a desire to leave. While Alvarez currently enjoys regular playing time, Real Madrid’s allure could be a deciding factor in the player’s future decision.
