Julian Alvarez will be the icing on the cake of Atletico's project for the 2024-25 season. However, for this express request, and desire, of Diego Simeone to come to fruition, another condition will have to be met first: Samu Omorodion and Chelsea are the other side of the deal.
Atletico's interest in Gallagher made Chelsea consider the option of the young Spanish striker. A deal that would have the approval of the 'Colchoneros' board as long as the figures reached 40-45 million euros and the club was guaranteed the arrival of Julian Alvarez.
With that money and without City's resistance, Atletico Madrid will be able to carry out the operation. The talks with the English club have been conducted first hand by Atlético's CEO Gil Marin and City's Ferran Soriano.
On the other hand, Pep Guardiola did count on the presence of Julian for the new season.
