However Atletico Madrid had a good signing on Julian Alvarez because he is giving them what they want and he was the one that made there wining against Mallorca possible when the club almost lost hope of winning, I'm very happy with how his career is going on that club.
Alvarez was indeed a very good player, but we need to understand that pep wasn't that Interested in playing the both of them at same time in every game. Though, there were a couple number of games where the both of them featured, and in most cases, Alvarez plays as an AMF. The truth is, Alvarez needed more playing time, and it was obvious because that's what we all should probably expect from a player with such quality. There is no way Haaland will have to sit on the bench for him even though he is good. I think it's just the managers decision to decides who to play often, and Alvarez as a player had that opportunity to make that decision to leave which is probably the best thing to do if he wants to get more playing time.
Julian Alvarez is not too excellent and cannot compete with Erling Haaland in the official position, but at Etihad Stadium, Julian Alvarez still has unique features that cannot be mixed. Alvarez is not a "false 9" even though this striker plays very wide and if paired with Haaland, he often drops back and suddenly enters the penalty area to receive the ball and finish. However, if Alvarez is pulled down, it will be difficult for this striker to compete for the position of Phil Foden, Ilkay Gundogan, or De Bruyne. I believe if he stays for a few more seasons, Alvarez can replace De Bruyne.
By deciding to move to Atletico Madrid, Alvarez will certainly be involved in the biggest games, but it is unlikely to be the Champions League final. So this will be a big bet for Alvarez.
