Richard Hughes has €100m answer to Mohamed Salah replacement
Julian Alvarez would be a perfect deal for Liverpool to try and get over the line
Julian Alvarez has been one of La Liga's most in-form players this season.
Even though the 26-year-old doesn't play in an attacking-team, he's still managed to catch the eyes of most major clubs around the world.
This season alone the Argentinian international has played 48 games and has contributed to 29 goals across all competitions.
Indeed, his best position is as a centre-forward but, during his time with Manchester City, there were occasions when he'd be used on the left.
But, since Arne Slot seemingly wants to start with two strikers whenever possible, Alvarez would be a perfect addition.
And now, an update from Spanish outlet MARCA has revealed Atletico Madrid's asking price for their star attacker.
"The relationship between the club and the player is excellent; Julián is very settled in Madrid with his family and has shown no desire to leave," they wrote.
"Although FC Barcelona is closely monitoring the situation, a transfer seems highly unlikely, as Atlético values the Argentine at around €100 million."
