Manchester City has been rocked by the news that Julian Alvarez is requesting to leave the club this summer. The Argentine international, who played a key role in helping the Premier League champions secure the title last season, has reportedly informed the club of his desire to move on. According to reports, Alvarez turned down a new contract offer from the club at the end of the previous season, which would have extended his stay at City until 2028. He is said to have asked the club to set a “logical” asking price for potential suitors, indicating his determination to secure a move away from the Etihad Stadium.
On the other hand, Manchester United are rumored to be interested in signing Netherlands and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Xavi Simons. The young talent spent the last season on loan at RB Leipzig from PSG, and now faces a crucial decision regarding his future. According to The Sun, United, along with Bayern Munich and Leipzig, are keen on securing his services. PSG has yet to make a decision on Simons’ future, but with the player reportedly seeking regular game time, a move away from the French club seems likely. The potential move is expected to be a loan deal initially, with an obligation to buy in the future due to a sell-on clause that expires in 2024.
In other news, the England national team is in line for a substantial bonus if they emerge victorious in the Euro 2024 final against Spain. The Telegraph reports that each member of Gareth Southgate’s squad could earn over £350,000 as part of a bonus pot worth up to £10 million. Despite the significant financial reward at stake, many players are unaware of the exact amount they stand to receive if they make history by winning the European Championship for the first time. The focus for the players remains on the upcoming final, with the financial incentives serving as an added bonus if they manage to secure the title.
