Manchester City confirm Julian Alvarez to join the team during the weekend

LONDON: Argentine forward Julian Alvarez will arrive in Manchester City this weekend ahead of the 2022/23 season, the club said in a statement on Friday.

The 22-year-old signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the Club in January but remained at River Plate on loan until the end of the South American campaign. His final match for River came on Thursday in the second leg of their Copa Libertadores last-16 match against Velez Sarsfield, a game which finished 0-0 and saw Velez progress 1-0 on aggregate.

Alvarez will be unveiled to City fans at West Reception on Sunday, alongside fellow new signings Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips and Stefan Ortega Moreno. IANS
