Fabrizio Romano claims Julian Alvarez won't leave Manchester City on loan this summer

Julian Alvarez created history by becoming the first player to win a club treble and the FIFA World Cup in the same season. However, he mostly played second fiddle to Erling Haaland at Manchester City in the 2022-23 season.

The Argentine started just 23 games across competitions and didn't even feature in the FA Cup and the Champions League finals.

Some reports suggested that Bayern Munich are interested in signing Alvarez on loan this summer. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano denied such claims.

"There's no chance at all for Julián Álvarez to leave Man City on loan deal in the summer. Sources feel he's set to stay in any case; but for sure, not leaving on loan. Links to Bayern on loan move are described as wide of mark," Romano tweeted.

Bayern Munich are looking for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who joined Barcelona last summer. As per journalist Florian Plettenberg, they have identified Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani and City's Julian Alvarez as their targets.

The Argentine has also been linked with Real Madrid, who are looking for a replacement for Karim Benzema, who joined Al-Ittihad this summer. As per Marca, their top priority is Harry Kane but have identified Alvarez as a backup.
