There is nothing to suggest he is desperate to go. Also doubt Atletico would pay him more than us. They have probably tempted him with being their no.1 rather than starting 2 CL games all season. But till they can come up with the fee, he will be reminded of his role and that every player plays theirs.

he should also be reminded that the main striker was out injured for a couple of months last year, that was his opportunity to come in and make himself undroppable which he didnt doThere is nothing to suggest he is desperate to go.

They've just bought a striker for 30m.There's not a fucking chance he's joining Atletico, they haven't got 7m let alone 70m to spend if that is our asking price.
I really hope we don't do anything stupid and let him go on loan with an obligation to buy at the end of it, if Alvarez is desperate to go
They pulled some levers recently and they now have some cash knocking around so it's very possible
Feels like this is slightly more serious though especially if Jack Gaughan is reporting it
I think it’ll happen after negotiating for the rest of the window
Key part for me was that they had already been in for earlier in the summer and cooled negotiations
You don’t come back in if you don’t have intentions of paying somewhere near the fee, knowing the player wants to join
Yeah does look like it but they'll have to get near to that £70/80m we want at moment they are around 15/20m short

They will lowball us still even if they have the cash then mate. No way are they getting near our valuation if it is 70-80mThey've just bought a striker for 30m.

Wouldn’t sell them cunts a nasty rash. Vile club.
Pep seems confident he is staying, let's see what happens when Pep has had chance to speak to him.
Hmmm I read that as him playing the game as he knows it depends on Atletico meeting our valuation. No doubt Pep loves him and probably would prefer him to stay

lets be honest, he wants more money and warmer weather
I doubt Athletico will meet our valuation, they will probably put in a iow ball offer which I hope we immediately reject.Hmmm I read that as him playing the game as he knows it depends on Atletico meeting our valuation. No doubt Pep loves him and probably would prefer him to stay

Fuck him off, clearly doesn't want to be here does he. The fee sounds very fair from PSG and he goes somewhere he won't come back to haunt us. Will miss his work rate and eye for goal. Won't miss his trampoline first touch.

no he wants to be first choice striker, not back up or make shift midfielder.lets be honest, he wants more money and warmer weather
Why anytime a player is mentioned as leaving do some claim they want money, it was the same thing aimed at players coming to us mamy times.
As for the weather, Argentina is hardly a sunny hotspot or not short of cold spells and rainfall.

He was always going to leave either this summer or next.
We can't have him and Haaland together, something had to give.
He is the Argentinian number 9 and would be first choice for pretty much every team in the world bar maybe 5 or 6 clubs.
If he goes Atletico he will get 20 goals next year, PSG, he could get close to 30.

I’m surprised at Alvarez unless it’s his agent rocking the boat
Does not seem that type of guy. However, he must have a ruthless streak or he wouldn’t have achieved what he has.
Will he reach the top? A game changer?
Jury still out for me

They can certainly fuck off.

I wonder with Atletico quite below our reported valuation is a deal with Felix on the cards.
In terms of Alvarez going permanently for X fee, with Felix coming on loan with a cheaper option to buy next summer pending on his performances.
Alvarez gets his move, Felix gets a move he wants, Atletico get rid of the player. Guess something like that would boil down to City’s desire to take him but Mendes and co have no doubt offered him to City in some way shape
or form in recent years.

Doubtful but Mendes will be trying. Felix wants Barca, he has an offer from Villa sitting on the table,I wonder with Atletico quite below our reported valuation is a deal with Felix on the cards.
