If Alvarez goes to Madrid, Diego Simone’s team may let Chelsea sign forward Samu Omorodion.Only if a deal for Alvarez is finalized would Omorodion, who is worth roughly £35 million, be permitted to leave.

With Conor Gallagher, a player for Chelsea, nearing a transfer to Madrid, Atletico Madrid has been actively courting Premier League players this summer.

Omorodion, who scored nine goals while on loan at Deportivo Alaves last season, is not involved in the transfer involving Gallagher.

With Erling Haaland above of him in Manchester’s pecking order, 24-year-old Alvarez is eager for more frequent playing time.The Argentine striker has been openly discussing a possible transfer throughout the summer. He contributed 19 goals and 13 assists for City last season.

City are poised to earn a 400 percent return after spending £14 million two years ago to acquire the striker from River Plate.

In the time since he joined the club, he has helped Argentina win the World Cup and the Copa America, in addition to two Premier League crowns, a Champions League, an FA Cup, a Super Cup, and the Club World Cup.

Concerns over Alvarez’s future have arisen while he competes for Argentina at the Paris Olympics.

“A lot of talk,” the highly sought-after striker stated.

“I am focused here because it is a short tournament.”I had a great game for Manchester City and got plenty of playing time.

It will be clear after the Olympics. The first thing I’ll do is try to get some time off.Following that, a decision will be made. While it may be frustrating to sit out crucial games, players are always eager to contribute on the field. I am happy, though, because my season was solid.

When Alvarez comes back to City for preseason, Pep Guardiola will meet with him to discuss the upcoming season.
