Argentina's Julian Alvarez is set to join Atletico Madrid from Manchester City in a transfer deal worth over $100 million, as confirmed by City's manager Pep Guardiola. The move comes after Alvarez expressed his desire for a new challenge, following two championship-winning seasons with City.

The 24-year-old striker was often second choice to Erling Haaland and now looks forward to a leading role in Atletico, a top club in both Spain and Europe. Guardiola acknowledged Alvarez's wish to leave and stated that both clubs have reached a satisfactory agreement.

Alvarez's tenure at Manchester City saw him contribute to victories in the Premier League, Champions League, and Club World Cup. Despite his successes, Alvarez seeks greater opportunity and responsibility, which he hopes to find at Atletico Madrid.
