In a recent report, Fichajes claimed that Liverpool are in pole position to land Atletico Madrid talent Julian Alvarez this summer. It has been stated that the Reds would have to rival Barcelona in the race to land the Argentina international next year.
Alvarez’s Impressive Season In Spain
Alvarez has made a decent start to this campaign as he has put in a few impressive displays for the Madrid outfit in La Liga. The 25-year-old has registered one goal and earned two assists in eight matches for Atletico Madrid this season in all competitions.
The Argentine sensation deserves a ton of credit for averaging 2.23 shots per 90 minutes in La Liga. He has kept 55.6% of his attempts on target. Alvarez was even tidy when distributing the ball in the final third after completing 76.9% of his attempted passes in the Spanish top tier (stats via fbref.com).
His current contract at the Wanda Metropolitano will expire in the summer of 2030. Hence, the Reds would have to make a convincing offer if they want to stand a chance of recruiting Alvarez next year.
Will Alvarez Be A Dream Signing For Liverpool Boss Arne Slot?
Alvarez is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few driving runs with it on the offensive end of the field. He can shoot the ball with venom from long range and has got the vision to engineer some inviting chances for his teammates to find the back of the net.
The Argentina international can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top. He is primarily a centre-forward but can also operate as a winger on either flank if asked to do so.
Alvarez already knows the Premier League well from his time at Man City and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Liverpool. We can expect to bring more firepower to Arne Slot’s attack. He is good enough to challenge for a regular starting spot at Anfield in the coming years.
At 25, Alvarez has his peak years ahead of them, which makes him a dream signing for the Reds to consider in this transfer window.
