On August 12, Atletico Madrid officially announced the signing of former Manchester City striker Alvarez, reportedly for a fee of €95 million. ESPN also graded the transfer, with Man City ultimately receiving an A- and Atletico receiving a B.
ESPN analysts believe that Alvarez’s transfer is a huge deal, with the transfer fee very high, and including add-ons, the transfer fee could reach €95 million. Alvarez is determined to take the next step in his career, and a nine-figure transfer is undoubtedly one way to achieve this. He is a great player, scoring 20 goals and providing 20 assists in the Premier League last season. His tactical execution on the pitch and his never-say-die attitude make it easy to understand why Simeone wants him.
Manchester City gets an A- because they made a lot of money from a player who was not necessarily a starter for the team (originally valued at €16 million). Atletico received a B because the player is a great fit for the club and the coach, but the price they had to pay was simply too high.
