“Last season I was one of the Manchester City players who played the most minutes in the team. But it’s true that at the end of the day you don’t like to be left out of important games and start on the bench, you want to contribute. I haven’t sat down to think clearly about what I’m going to do for my future. When the Olympics are over I’ll take the time to think about what I want for myself. We’ll see what happens next…”explained Julian Alvarez (24 years old) on Monday evening at the microphone of DSports RadioFrustrated by his situation at the club where he is overtaken by Erling Haaland, the Argentinian striker would like to leave Manchester City if his situation does not improve.
A marked position that provoked an immediate reaction from his coach Pep Guardiola. Ahead of the warm-up match between Manchester City and FC Barcelona, the Catalan coach was rather direct in his words and did not close the door to his player leaving: “I knew he said he would think about it. When he has finished thinking about it, his agent will call Txiki and we will see what happens. I know he wants to play important moments, yes. But the others too. 18, 19 players also want to play the big games. I read that he wants to think about it, okay, let him think about it and then he will inform us of what he wants to do. He plays a lot, does he want more? Very well. Let him think about it. When he has thought about it, he will inform us.»
