Oh yeah, hes doing well too
Tagliafico and Lisandro Martinez would be 2 more bought from the argentine league for Ajax and having done well
Julian Alvarez | 75m + 20m add-ons (Euros) fee agreed with Atletico

Argentinian talents always get my juices flowing. Just watched a compilation again, he can strike a ball. If he is up for English football, lets get him in quickly.
Greenwood has had covid, hence why he hasn't been picked over Rashford, yet.
Very strange
why aren't barca all over this
They need someone on top hes cheap decent quality and a country where their best players usually come from? Seems like a perfect choice for them in Jan but so far nothing

They are buying Torres already. Cant spend like crazy.
There's only so much money laundering they can risk partaking in each transfer window
I love how people are always desperate to make comparisons to older South American players.
He looks a decent prospect and if Rangnick is truly invested in getting them then we should absolutely back him. I will say it's very difficult to judge players from their performance in lesser league's - You have to look for things that will work in different circumstances. There's limits to what you can gather from highlights but he at least isn't just producing when he has time and space and looks comfortable creating his own and playing in tight spaces. I remember feeling that was a huge red flag with Memphis when we signed him.
Would be an exciting addition and definitely worth a punt at that price.

He's won as many international trophies as Messi himself at only 21. Sign him up Rangnick!
Martial is done here. Was the second Rangnick arrived.
Cavani is almost certainly gone in the summer (or maybe even sooner than that) and Ronaldo has one more year at best. Both could be gone in the summer if they don't figure into the plans.
Rashford has stagnated badly and plays poorly more often than he plays well. We're not giving up on him but he's certainly not a guy you'd have pencilled in as a long term starter right now.
Elanga is a long shot and still looks a year or two away.
If Ralf really likes this guy then none of the above should sway him from signing him. This is the type of signing you'd hope would bring quality performances for 5-10 years. At the very least you'd expect to make a decent return on a £25m investment. He's already the best player in that league, which at 21 is impressive even if it isn't close to PL standards.
He might be the best player in history already.
The real question is why Atletico Madrid is not on that list.
Simeone signs a lot of Argentine and South American player.
Lautaro came close to signing for Atletico Madrid before leaving for Inter.
Suarez 35 years old and his last season, Griezzman 30 years old and is not a striker, you have Cunha and Correa.
There is a possibility that he will stay one more year in River, if he makes a great season he will be in the World Cup in Qatar
This transfer gossip has a similar stench to the Moises Caciedo one last year! Whatever happened to him btw?
Atlectico have been pretty trash in the transfer market over the past few years I don’t expect to act wisely ( 120 mil for jao felix? But grizman again??)
I don't know about him making the squad aregintina is pretty top heavy
Icardi is frozen out but you still have messi Martinez and di Maria so showcasing his talents in a more renowned environment won't hurt

The answer to that question is Jao Felix. Agreed they need more but they’ve got a very expensive striker
Don't you think with all those factors, we may need someone a bit more proven for the Summer? Guess we have to go with Ralf and the scouts instinct, they know more.
If we’re keeping Ronaldo another year then not really. I don’t think we’re going to be relying on Alvarez to be the immediate starter but that he’d be another guy to compete for the place.
Hopefully Greenwood goes to another level and if we sign Alvarez that he’s as good as advertised. Even if were to bring in another proven striker I don’t think you pass on Alvarez if they think he’s a special talent.

For those who've seen him play, is he a bigger talent than Greenwood?
There’s probably a handful of those players in world football, so I’m going to guess no.
I was told that this guy is a star in the making.
Definitely not. But he's worth a punt for 20M it's a bargain, if we were talking about 60-70M which I think its around Greenwood's current value nobody would be asking us to sing him. Its a value/potential relation which makes Alvarez's case interesting.
No money, Spanish clubs need to worry about non EU players, Depay plays in the middle and hes their best attacker
Aguero going will free up a non EU spot, but that doesnt mean they want a 21 year old from the Argentine league to take it up. Might want someone more established to try and get to the top of the league quicker.
Whereas United have Ronaldo for right now and a 21 year old goalscorer can be introduced slower as he likely declines.
No. At least not in terms of being an established goalscorer at a young age. Is he better on the ball? Probably. But we play with 2 strikers and when we dont Greenwood is usually on the right
They say he is a legend.
Fancy, relatively unknown South American striker with grainy, relatively mild YouTube footage of his talent.
Hope he turns out more of a Chicharito and less of an Angelo Henriquez.

I wish his name was more foreign sounding, would definitely sign him then.
That makes sense fair enough
Don't know how reliable though. So far is only coming from Argentinian and not English press so they may only be using our name to drive the price up.
What type of forward is he, is he the high energy type that you would expect Ralph to favour for the style of play?
If the price is right then it’s worth a punt if our scouts have done their homework and if Cavani is leaving.

IS is he among 800 forward players we have scouted? And than we will realise that he doesn't press well.
We do need think about our forward options right now. Edi and Tony are going, going, gone. Ronnie may be a legend, but he’s not immortal.
For 20m we can pull the trigger for Alavarez but I’d really like to see us address our midfield hole first.

Direct talks in all caps? Done dealio.
Gallardo's River are a pressing team.
A Cologne carnival local entertainment celebrity (god knows what's wrong with these Cologne people) apparently sat on a beach chair next to Alvarez while vacationing in Mexico and he told her he has an offer from Bayern, and she told a Cologne tabloid.
Game over, guys.
Game over, guys.
Yep, he's coming to United, unlucky Bayern
This is literally the exact scenario that was with Moises Caceido, Don't be too excited for this.
Best typo in a good while! You can even make the song, sir!
Brighton bought him and have since loaned out to Belgian club Beerschot.
I was completely sold on him based on the compilaitons I watched
The argentinian league is vastly inferior to the Brazilian league for economic reasons. Just take a look into all the games between Brazilians and Argentinians in the Libertadores. People at Flamengo want to kill Andreas Pereira. Zaracho would be good at any league, same way the vast majority of Brazilians and Argentinians have in europe the same level they had in south america. Antony at Ajax has better numbers in the Champions League than he had in the Brazilian League.
