Julián Álvarez has become the great sensation of Argentine soccer, with 21 goals in 42 games this season. The young River forward has emerged as one of the most promising footballers in American football. His high level has not gone unnoticed by European club scouts. Atlético, Barcelona, Inter, Milan, Juve, Fiorentina, Bayer Leverkusen… are some of the clubs that are interested in River’s pearl. Of all of them, Inter is the one that has taken advantage in the race to take over his services. As reported by Tuttosport, the general manager of the Italian club, Dario Baccin, He was not present this Saturday in the box of the match against Venezia, since He has traveled to Argentina to advance his hiring.
Julián Álvarez has a contract with River until December 2022 and his termination clause is 25 million euros, an affordable figure for any of the clubs that has the forward of 21 on the agenda. In fact, his current coach, Marcelo Gallardo, has had no qualms about acknowledging that his pupil’s clause is well below his great footballing level.
Julián Álvarez has a Real Madrid past, since in 2011, when he was still 11 years old, he spent a month on trial in Valdebebas. However, the regulations prevented such a young player from signing. “He spent a month in Madrid. He made such a difference playing here that they came to see him from all sides. He passed over the rivals. He faced left or right and went to the area,” recalled Claudio Gorgerino, mayor from Calchín, to ‘Infobae’.
