Rumors come from England that could be of great interest to Valdebebas’s offices and that would have caused certain moves by the board led by Florentino Pérez next summer.
At Real Madrid, they know that signing the number ‘9’ has already become a priority task for the upcoming transfer market of 2024. The summer window is expected to be very hectic for the Merengue system, which will try to employ Kylian Mbappé as a starting player. Free agent since this process is available. However, should Bondy’s striker decide not to arrive at the Santiago Bernabéu, there are multiple options
One of those long-time pollsters who many wouldn’t bet on would have been that close to them: Julian Alvarez . According to information from SPORT, Real Madrid had begun to approach Julian Alvarez. The Argentine striker is renewed until 2028 and has no exit clause, something that could facilitate hypothetical negotiations between the Whites and the Sky Blue managers.
Likewise, Julian Alvarez welcomes his urgent departure from Etihad Stadium. In addition to having less playing time compared to his big rival for the No. 9 position, Erling Haaland, some of the tactical decisions made by Pep Guardiola in recent matches will not please the Albiceleste striker. Although it is not the first time that he has been positioned as a playmaker or false nine behind Haaland, the “experiments” that he would have had with the Scandinavian striker would have made him realize that he could not develop his true potential in this way.
First steps
These internal disturbances arrive at the right time. According to information from Argentine radio station Radio Continental, a delegation from Real Madrid was going to contact Julian Alvarez’s entourage to convey their desire to sign him and ask about the possibility of his move to the Santiago Bernabéu. The answer is still unknown, although it is clear that the South American striker sees signing for one of the league’s elite clubs as appropriate.
At the moment, Real Madrid will have the theoretical advantage. In addition to having the financial liquidity to sign Julian Alvarez, something Barcelona does not have under any circumstances, the white club could also use a ‘letter of remembrance’, mentioning his past as a member of La Fabrica who did so. He did not flourish in the Madrid youth team due to bureaucratic problems: his passport was not approved in time, forcing him to return to his country of origin.
