Liverpool Are Among The Clubs Hoping To Land This Atletico Madrid Star: Dream Option For Slot? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Marca mentioned that Liverpool are among the clubs hoping to land Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez. It has been stated that the Reds would have to compete with Barcelona and Arsenal in the race to sign the Argentine talent this summer.

Alvarez’s Impressive Run Of Form In La Liga

The 25-year-old had a brilliant campaign at the Madrid club after putting in a lot of productive displays for them in the final third. Alvarez banged in 29 goals and grabbed seven assists in 54 matches for Diego Simeone’s side last season on all fronts.

The Argentine forward has been a reliable performer up top as he averaged 2.51 shots per game and kept 51.4% of his attempts on target in La Liga. However, Alvarez could improve his link-up play in the opponent’s half, based on his pass completion rate of 74.2% in league football (stats via fbref.com).

The Calchin-born talent is under contract at the Wanda Metropolitano until the summer of 2030. Therefore, Liverpool would have to make a huge offer if they are to stand a chance of recruiting Alvarez this off-season.

Is Alvarez A Dream Option For Liverpool Boss Arne Slot?

Alvarez can create a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the vision to engineer some promising chances for his teammates up top and is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet.

The Argentine talent has proven his worth as a prolific goal-scorer in the final third. He mainly functions as a centre-forward but can also operate as a winger on either flank if told to do so by his manager.

Alvarez already knows the Premier League well from his time at Manchester City. Hence, he won’t take much time to adjust to life in Liverpool if they manage to bring him back to England this summer.

Alvarez would add plenty of goals and assists to Arne Slot’s attack. He has what it takes to be a regular starter for the Merseyside club over the next few years. Therefore, Alvarez would be a dream option for the Reds to consider in this summer transfer window.
