In a major transfer twist that’s set to send shockwaves through the Premier League, Liverpool have completed the signing of Julian Álvarez from Manchester City in a blockbuster deal worth €62.5 million. After intense negotiations and weeks of behind-the-scenes movement, personal terms were finally agreed earlier today, paving the way for a full agreement between the two English giants.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed the move with his signature “Here we go!”, stating that Álvarez had made it clear to all parties that his sole desire was to join Liverpool — despite being on the radar of several elite European clubs.
“Julian Álvarez to Liverpool, here we go! Deal sealed between clubs after personal terms were agreed today,” Fabrizio posted on his social platforms. “Álvarez will travel to Liverpool as he ONLY wanted Anfield… and the Reds only wanted him to replace Darwin Núñez.”
Álvarez’s move comes amid reports that Darwin Núñez is set to leave Anfield this summer, with interest from clubs in La Liga and Saudi Arabia. The Argentine forward is seen by new manager Arne Slot and the Liverpool board as a perfect fit for the club’s evolving system — bringing sharp movement, clinical finishing, and high work rate.
The 24-year-old World Cup winner leaves Manchester City having played a crucial supporting role behind Erling Haaland, scoring 19 goals in all competitions last season. While City fans will be disappointed to lose a player of his calibre, Álvarez’s desire for a bigger role — and Liverpool’s offer of a starring position — proved decisive.
Álvarez is expected to arrive in Liverpool within the next 24 hours to undergo his medical and finalize the deal. He will sign a long-term contract and could be unveiled as early as this weekend.
This signing marks a major statement of intent from Liverpool as they look to rebuild and challenge for the Premier League title again next season. The Julian Álvarez era at Anfield is about to begin.
