Liverpool told that they should have signed Julian Alvarez

"Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez is in sensational form this season, and former Liverpool player Don Hutchison believes that they should have signed him. Alvarez would have been an exceptional acquisition for Liverpool. However, the Premier League champions decided to spend a substantial amount of money on Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak. Julian Alvarez is in red-hot form Ekitike has done quite well since joining the club, and Isak is still getting up to speed after missing pre-season."

"He has taken his game to a whole new level since joining the Spanish club. He scored 29 goals last season, and he is already scoring at a similar level this season as well. Apart from his goal-scoring ability, his creative input has been outstanding as well. Alvarez is quite young, and he could improve further with coaching and experience. There is no doubt that he is playing at a world-class level now, and he will only improve with time."

"Hutchison believes that he is a frightening player', and Liverpool should have broken transfer records to sign him. Despite signing multiple attacking players, they have looked disjointed in the attack this season. It will be interesting to see if the new players can adapt quickly and help Liverpool bounce back strongly. Meanwhile, Alvarez has played in the Premier League with Manchester City in the past, and he knows the league well. He could have made an instant impact at Liverpool if they had signed him."

Julian Alvarez has elevated his game at Atletico Madrid, scoring 29 goals last season and maintaining a similar scoring rate this season while providing outstanding creative input. He remains young with potential for further improvement through coaching and experience and is considered world-class. Don Hutchison described him as a 'frightening player' and said Liverpool should have pursued him, even at record transfer fees. Liverpool instead signed Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak; Ekitike has started well and Isak is regaining fitness after missing pre-season. Liverpool have looked disjointed, have lost consecutive matches, and the new forwards face mounting pressure.
