Real Madrid is continuing to look for backup options in case it cannot sign striker Kylian Mbappé from PSG this upcoming summer. Said to be in the sights of the Spanish team is young striker Julian Alvarez from Manchester City.

Julian Alvarez, 19 years old, is currently emerging as a promising talent at Manchester City. Possessing skillful technique and agile speed, he made a strong impression with his excellent performance for Man City last season.

According to sources, Real Madrid has placed Alvarez on the backup list in case it cannot successfully recruit Mbappé. This shows the Spanish team’s interest and appreciation for the young Argentinian talent.

Alvarez will bring Real Madrid flexibility and breakthrough in attack. With the ability to play in many positions on the attack, he can create diversity in the team’s playing style, while increasing competition and options for coach Carlo Ancelotti.

However, recruiting Alvarez was not easy. Man City is said to not want to lose this young talent and will demand a high price if Real Madrid wants to get his services. However, with Mbappé’s importance in Real Madrid’s transfer plans, they can offer a reasonable price to convince Man City to make concessions.

Anyway, the fact that Real Madrid is researching backup plans in case they are unsuccessful in signing Mbappé shows their determination to upgrade their attack. Julian Alvarez can become a reasonable and potential choice for the Spanish team in the near future.
