Exclusive: Manchester City could now suffer £67m exit amid advancing Chelsea negotiations

Posted by

PSG are understood to be set to return to the race to sign Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez should things fall flat around the transfer of Nigeria international Victor Osimhen.

The French giants had agreed on personal terms with the Serie A star, though sources close to CaughtOffside understand Chelsea have advanced in their negotiations for the attacker. There’s now a growing feeling that a deal will be reached between the two outfits.

Head coach Luis Enrique is appreciative of the Argentine’s talents and will ask for his transfer should a move for Osimhen ultimately fail as expected.

Sources with a view of the situation have confirmed that PSG will meet with Manchester City again after the Olympics to get a better understanding of the forward’s situation.

Atletico Madrid were interested in Alvarez previously, but they will not rush to make a move for the former River Plate man as they think any potential terms won’t be financially suitable on their part.

CaughtOffside are informed by sources close to the Sky Blues that they are not pushing for the departure of the 24-year-old this summer. Nonetheless, the Argentine does come with a set price tag of about £58.9-67.4m, if he wants to leave after a meeting with his current employers.

City want Alvarez to stay but will respect his decision should he wish to depart this summer.

    1. Hello Brother:

      The problem these days is agents negotiate their fee completely separate from the athlete’s contract unlike American sports. So what happens, (usually), is whichever team pays the agent the most USUALLY gets the player. Not always the case but usually.

      1. absolutely! this is a real problem and needs to be addressed! greedy agents are costing players moves just look at j david of lille the clubs agreed a 30 mil fee but deal collapsed because the agent wanted 10 mil on top and west ham said no pulling out of the deal

      2. Well said, Samson. The biggest issue with transfers in the current climate is exactly what you stated. There have unfortunately been too many young talents who’ve been ill advised on their futures because the agents main interest is who much money can be gained by the transfer. FIFA and UEFA promise a transparent system with player movement, but need to re-establish the guidelines so that young players don’t have agents that are not acting in the best interests of their clients.

    2. the fact remains, he is good, but the rest of MC’s players are much better… good luck to him, and as long as city make good money out of it, let him go to PSG. Bobb is a better player, fact…

  1. where do you get 67m from he is under contract for another 4 years if psg want him its 100m. no cut price if you want him put offer down simples

    1. Because Man City have asked for 60m with add ons
