Alvarez, who won the World Cup for Argentina, has found his place in Atletico Madrid after changing teams . Alvarez's white-eyed departure from City may seem like a simple defection, but its implications for the English club are far-reaching.
With Alvarez leaving City, Guardiola now has to rethink the team's frontline. There is no player more natural to score in the forward line than Arling Holland in particular.
Neither Phil Foden, Jeremy Docu nor newcomer Savio are natural goalscorers. Although they come forward to score goals for the needs of the team, they are basically players of different positions. That's why Alvarez became important for City even from the bench. Even when Holland was injured, Alvarez tried to do his job well.
Argentine media TYC Sports wrote that City are currently looking for a replacement for Alvarez. But in the current market conditions, it seems a little difficult for City to find an alternative to the Argentine star.
Among them some names like Pedri, Alexander Isaac, Luis Openda have also come forward. But in the end, whether they will be found or not and whether they will be able to adapt to the city, there is also concern.
Among the players in the squad, Oscar Bob was seen by many as an alternative to Alvarez. But there is also a big shock. Guardiola himself confirmed Bob's injury to be out for four months. The accident made things even more complicated for Guardiola.
All in all, not being able to keep hold of Alvarez could spell big trouble for City throughout the season. Especially if Holland gets injured or suffers from lack of rhythm, then finding his substitute will be a difficult challenge for this Spanish coach.
City fans are now eyeing a change of heart. They are waiting to see if Guardiola can give any good news in the next few days.
