Atletico Madrid have completed the \u00a381.5m signing of Manchester City striker Julian Alvare<\/b>z on a six-year deal. <\/b><\/p>\n

Diego Simeone’s Spanish side will pay an initial \u00a364.4m (75m euros) with a further \u00a317.1m (20m euros) in potential add-ons for the Argentina striker.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old’s departure is a record sale for City, eclipsing the \u00a350m they received from Chelsea for Raheem Sterling in 2022. <\/p>\n

They paid Argentine side River Plate \u00a314.1m for Alvarez in January 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alvarez said City – where he won six major trophies during his two-year stay – will always “have a special place” in his heart.<\/p>\n

“Today I say goodbye to this amazing club, with a lot of emotion,” he said. <\/p>\n

“These have been two very special years. During this time, I have grown and learnt a lot – both as a player and as a person.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
