Despite his great start in the Premier League, Julian Alvarez could return to the bench for this reason

Manchester City is already preparing a closing of the transfer market in which Pep Guardiola hopes to finish filling the roles he needs after the departures he has had this summer. Aymeric Laporte, Iikay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez are three players who left the citizen team and now, the club has finished closing their replacements, with one giving unexpected news to Julian Alvarez.

The Argentine striker has started this season as a starter in most matches. In fact, Julian Alvarez scored his goal against Newcastle that meant victory for Pep Guardiola's team on the second day of the Premier League. However, the ownership of the player could be conditioned by the most recent news received by the footballer.

Fabrizio Romano confirms that Rennes has an offer of 55-60 million euros on the table for the signing of Jeremy Doku from Manchester City. The source points out that the price is fair, and is even higher than what the French expected, which is why, in the following hours, the signing of the Belgian for Pep's team could be signed.

Will Jeremy Doku seat Julian Alvarez?

The reality is that the Belgian is a natural winger, unlike Julian Alvarez, who due to his versatility and talent, has been playing in recent games alongside Haaland or on the wing. For this reason, the Argentine's minutes could be reduced, taking into account that Haaland's ownership is practically assured.
