The 24-year-old was billed for greatness when he joined Manchester City from Argentine side River Plate; however, he has had to play deputy to a superior talent, Erling Haaland.
Alvarez has made 103 appearances for Manchester City since joining in 2022. He has scored 36 goals and provided 18 assists. The striker also admitted to enjoying game time last season but emphasised that he fell down the pecking order in the more important games towards the end of the season.
"I haven't stopped to think about what I'm going to do,” Alvarez told DSports Radio. “Last season, I was one of the players who played the most minutes on the team.

"But it's true: in the end, in some important games, it's not pleasant to be left out. I will have time to consider my decision. I haven't stopped to think things through calmly. Once the Olympic Games are over, I will take the time to reflect on what I want for myself."
Alvarez is not lacking suitors. He has interests in Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea and even in LALIGA from the likes of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
Guardiola's response
Alvarez is not with the rest of the Manchester City squad, who are currently on a pre-season tour of the USA, as he is in France with the Argentina national team for the Olympics.
When asked about Alvarez's comments, Guardiola said the following: “I read that he's going to think about it. Ok, think about it. Then he will inform us what he wants to do,” Guardiola said, per Fabrizio Romano.

“Julián played a lot. He wants more? It’s fine. So that's why... think about it. And when he thinks about it, he will inform us.”
Meanwhile, with Alvarez at the Olympics and the number of Manchester City players that participated at the European Championships and the Copa America, Pep Guardiola has determined that his team will not be ready at the start of the Premier League season.
