Transfer News: Manchester United ready to pay release clause of River Plate striker Julian Alvarez
According to the Spanish publication Sport (h/t Daily Mail Online), Manchester United are prepared to pay the release clause of River Plate striker Julian Alvarez as they try to initiate a move in the coming transfer windows. He has attracted attention across Europe following his excellent performances in South America.
Alvarez has a £17million release clause in his contract, which Man United are looking to activate as they try to prise him away to Old Trafford. Ralf Rangnick is keen on adding to the attacking department, and the Red Devils are determined to back their interim manager.
Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are all keeping a close eye on the situation and would pose a hefty challenge to the Red Devils. The 21-year-old’s agent Fernando Hidalgo is expected to fly out to England to negotiate a potential transfer.
Could Alvarez join Man United?
Earlier, it was said that the Argentinian is hoping to move to Old Trafford as the next step in his playing career. If that is the case, then we would have the upper hand over our competitors. We should try to use that to our advantage in pulling off a deal for the talented youngster.
We could use someone like the River Plate ace as we have lacked goals compared to the other heavyweights in Premier League. Not to mention, Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo do not have many years left in their playing career and will need to be replaced in the future.
The Argentine youngster has scored 36 goals alongside 25 assists, having made 96 appearances across all competitions throughout his time with the South American club. That is a nod to his attacking potency, which further justifies the interest he has garnered from various European giants.

The release clause is a steal in the current market, and we should take advantage of that and get him signed on as soon as possible. We would be assisted by his desire to join us, which adds to the list of things why this signing should be made.
It remains to be seen whether the board would get this in the bag or if there are any further obstacles along the way. Looking at it from the information that is made available so far, it should be an easy enough transfer for one of the highly sought after youngsters in the world.
