Agent: Liverpool wanted Alvarez signing last year

Julian Alvarez's agent has confirmed that Liverpool was interested in signing the striker from Manchester City last summer.

Alvarez joined City in 2022, winning two Premier Leagues and the Champions League in the space of two seasons before leaving for Atletico Madrid last summer.

The 25-year-old played over 100 times for City but grew frustrated at playing second fiddle to the prolific Erling Haaland, and is now enjoying being the main striker for Atletico Madrid, where he is averaging more than a goal every two games.

Had Arne Slot had it his way, Alvarez might have been turning out for Liverpool this term, with the Argentine's agent, Fernando Hidalgo, claiming that Liverpool wanted to sign him from City.

“I confirm that Liverpool were interested in Julian last season,” Hidalgo said.

“As for the future, it’s not the right time to talk about it, because Julian is participating in important tournaments and is fully focused on them.”
