After finishing his transfer procedure from Man City to Atletico Madrid, Julian Alvarez expressed gratitude towards his coaches and fellow players at Etihad for their contribution to the progression of skills
By moving to Atletico Madrid for a sum of approximately £82 million, the Argentine concludes his two-year tenure at Etihad. This sale marks an all-time high for Premier League champions' departure deals. Alvaro was initially obscure upon arriving in Manchester; however, he swiftly gained prominence.
Alvarez openly expressed his admiration for City and cherished several victorious moments while contributing to the team's Champions League triumph.
"Today, I bid farewell to this incredible club with overwhelming emotions," he expressed. "These past two years have been exceptionally significant for me as both a player and an individual where I've learned so much. A genuine thank you goes out to the directors and technical staff who showed immense confidence and support towards my growth; your teachings and vision benefited me enormously."
"I want to express my sincere gratitude to my teammates for the valuable moments we have shared, including your unwavering commitment and dedication during every training session and match. You all have taught me so much, leaving a lasting imprint on both my memories and friendships."
As Simeone reshapes his team, Alvarez is set to link up with his fellow countryman at Wanda Metropolitano. With Alvaro Morata having departed for AC Milan and Joao Felix possibly bound for Chelsea, the Atletico coach has sought out the 2022 World Cup champion as a replacement.
