Manchester United are reportedly ready to make a huge bid for the ambitious transfer of La Liga star this summer.
Manchester United are reportedly preparing a major offer to lure Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez back to the Premier League this summer. The Argentine forward, who previously played for Manchester City, has found his stride in La Liga after securing a more prominent role with Atlético following his move last year. His impressive performances have put him on United’s radar as they look to reinforce their attacking options.
Álvarez’s time at Manchester City was marked by glimpses of brilliance, but he struggled for consistent starts due to Erling Haaland’s presence. Now, speculation is mounting that he could return to England, with reports suggesting United are ready to put forward an offer of up to €150 million to bring him to Old Trafford. The club sees him as a potential game-changer, especially given the inconsistent form of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Højlund. Manager Rúben Amorim is eager to add a high-profile signing to reinvigorate the team’s attack, though United may need to offload players to balance their finances.
Securing Álvarez’s signature, however, will be far from straightforward. Atlético Madrid are likely to demand a hefty transfer fee, having only recently acquired him. Moreover, Manchester City fans may not take kindly to seeing a former player join their biggest rivals. On the player’s side, his willingness to switch clubs again remains uncertain. Having settled well at Atlético and playing a key role in their strong campaign, he may hesitate to make another move so soon. Additionally, with United facing challenges both on and off the pitch, the prospect of joining a struggling side could be a significant factor in his decision-making.
