"I would say it's probably very highly unlikely (that he moves back to Man City). I'm sure City possibly would look at it because he's such a top player, Julian Alvarez, he's really impressed at Atletico Madrid, but one of the main reasons he left City to join Atletico was that he wanted regular first-team football. He wasn't getting that at Man City, with the likes of Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and everybody else ahead of him in the pecking order."
"He wasn't getting that at Man City, with the likes of Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and everybody else ahead of him in the pecking order. I don't think he would want to come back and find himself playing a fringe role again. He wasn't too happy with the weather in Manchester either, (that) was another key reason for him moving away to the Spanish capital."
Julian Alvarez, 26, joined Atletico Madrid in 2024 after leaving Manchester City. He has impressed at Atletico and sought regular first-team football, which motivated his move. Manchester City might consider him given his quality, but a return appears unlikely because he would risk a fringe role behind players such as Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. Alvarez prioritized consistent starts and the lifestyle in Madrid when choosing Atletico. Discontent with Manchester's weather was an additional factor in his decision to move to the Spanish capital, reducing the likelihood of a near-term return to City.
