Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that forward Julián Álvarez will be returning to the club soon, dismissing any speculation linking the player to Atlético Madrid. Guardiola stated, “Atlético? I’ve nothing to say. He’s our player, he’s coming back soon.”
Guardiola emphasised his commitment to Álvarez, saying, “I’ll hug him and congratulate him, and we start to work together. He is our player. I count on him.”
This statement comes after recent uncertainty regarding Álvarez’s future, with previous reports suggesting that Guardiola was awaiting the player’s decision on his next move. The 24-year-old Argentine forward, who joined Manchester City from River Plate, has been a key figure in the squad with his versatile attacking style.
Álvarez’s return is expected to bolster Manchester City’s attacking options as they prepare for the upcoming season.
