Atletico Madrid succeeded in recruiting Julian Alvarez (Manchester City) and Conor Gallagher (Chelsea).
European-seeking transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on the 7th (Korea time), “Alvarez is moving to Atletico. It will pay an additional fee of 20 million euros (about 30 billion won) for a fixed amount of 75 million euros (about 113 billion won). He signed a five-year contract with Álvarez and Manchester City set a record for the highest sales amount for the club.”
Alvarez moved from CA River Plate to Manchester City in 2022. Manchester City had an eye on Alvarez, who had strong shooting power and activity in a small market, and quickly succeeded in signing him, investing £14 million (W23 billion). Alvarez spent the rest of the season at River Plate, joining Manchester City in the 2022-23 season.
Alvarez has shown his presence as a starter and replacement since the first season. He boasts smart movements and instant penetration skills, and even played center, side or midfielder roles. Alvarez has led Manchester City’s “treble” with 21 attack points throughout the season with 17 goals and four assists in 49 matches. During the last season, he showed off his presence by scoring 11 goals in 36 matches of the English Premier League and five goals in seven matches of the UEFA Champions League. 먹튀검증
Alvarez was at the center of transfer rumors after the end of the season. Atletico, Chelsea, and Real Madrid showed interest, and Alvarez wanted more opportunities. In the end, Atletico made a bold investment decision and succeeded in recruiting Alvarez.
This is not the end. Chelsea midfielder Gallagher is also heading to Atletico. Romano said, “Gallagher is leaving Chelsea for Atletico. Gallagher has also signed a five-year contract with a transfer fee of 42 million euros.”
Gallagher is an English midfielder. Gallagher boasts outstanding capacity and mobility in the midfield and uses accurate kicking skills to stage attacks. The Chelsea youngster Gallagher started his career in earnest after living on loan with West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace.
Gallagher played a total of 50 games and posted seven goals and nine assists last season, forming the midfield with Moises Caicedo and Enso Fernandez. Although he was a mainstay, rumors of a transfer continued last winter. Chelsea pushed for the sale of Gallagher to secure transfer funds, and Gallagher decided on Atletico as his destination. Atletico have invested a whopping 137 million euros (W206 billion) in the recruitment of the two players.
