Liverpool interested in Julian Alvarez, but no formal offer

Liverpool has been linked to Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez. Fabrizio Romano, a well-known journalist, provided an update on the situation in his newsletter. Alvarez joined Atletico Madrid last summer for a reported €75 million, with additional potential add-ons. During his time at Manchester City, he helped the team win three major trophies in the 2022-2023 season. Now at Atletico, he has been performing well and has caught the attention of Liverpool. Romano mentioned that Alvarez was on Liverpool's radar last summer, but he is currently happy at Atletico. Since he signed less than a year ago, there are no concrete developments regarding his transfer to Liverpool at this time. Alvarez has had a strong season, with 25 goals in 53 appearances. If Atletico were to sell him, they would likely want to make a profit given the significant investment they made. Liverpool is looking for a centre-forward, but acquiring Alvarez would require a large financial commitment. Additionally, there are reports that Atletico Madrid and Al-Nassr are interested in Liverpool's striker Darwin Nunez as the summer transfer window approaches.
