Manchester United are reportedly preparing a massive €150m (£125m) bid to sign Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez this summer.
Alvarez’s Impressive Form
The 25-year-old Argentine international has been in scintillating form for Diego Simeone’s side, scoring 17 goals and registering four assists in 37 appearances across all competitions.
His impressive performances have helped Atletico Madrid reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey and sit second in the La Liga table.
Manchester United’s Interest
According to Fichajes, Manchester United are willing to “go all out” to sign Alvarez, who has a six-year deal at Wanda Metropolitano.

The Red Devils are looking to boost their attacking options, and Alvarez is seen as the ideal player to lead their attack in a 3-4-3 formation.
Alvarez’s Past and Future
Alvarez made a switch from Manchester City to Atletico Madrid last summer, and his move has proven to be a huge success.
However, Manchester United’s potential bid could tempt him to return to Manchester.
The Red Devils are preparing to move for a new striker this summer, and Alvarez is reportedly their top target.
Implications for Manchester United’s Squad
If Alvarez joins Manchester United, it could spell the end for one of the club’s senior strikers, Rasmus Hojlund or Joshua Zirkzee.
Meanwhile, 17-year-old Chido Obi is making a huge impression at youth level and could potentially play back-up to a senior forward next term.
