Julián Álvarez deciding on Man City future – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that forward Julián Álvarez is considering his future at the club. Alvarez played 54 games across all competitions for the Cityzens in the last season but recently indicated that he is not getting enough game time in the big matches.

Erling Haaland has been the primary striker for the Sky Blues and thus the Argentine hasn’t got chances in the crucial games.

The World Cup winner said he will take a call on his future after the completion of the ongoing Paris Olympics. The Argentine has received interest from Atletico Madrid.

“I knew that he [Álvarez] said that he is going to think about it,” Guardiola said.

“When he finishes thinking about it, his agent is going to call [City football director] Txiki [Begiristain] and we are going to see what happens. I know he wants to play in important moments but the others [do] too. I have 18 or 19 players that want to play important games.

“He played a lot but if he wants more, it’s fine. When he thinks about it he’ll inform us.”

On the other hand, City’s veteran midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has received interest from Saudi Pro League but Guardiola revealed last week that the Belgian star will stay with the club. However, the Spaniard said that Bruyne could make a move if the offer came along.

“The club informed me that they didn’t get an offer,” Guardiola said. “To leave [he] needs an offer. I don’t know what is going happen but I’d love for him to stay.

“He earned the credit to decide his future for himself for what he has done for this club is massive. That’s why he has to decide. The info I have right now [is that] he is going to stay.”

Furthermore, City’s goalkeeper Ederson has also received an offer from the Saudi Pro League club. 

When asked about his future at City, Ederson said: “Nothing has been decided. It’s gratifying to hear that Pep [Guardiola] wants me to stay. It’s the eighth season with him. It’s easy to work with him because he is a football genius. I’m happy here.”
