Julian Alvarez snubs sensational Man City return and issues rejection to Arsenal
Alvarez’s strong reluctance to return to England is reportedly driven by personal circumstances rather than footballing reasons. The Argentine is aware of specific UK visa regulations that would create significant difficulty for his family to visit him, whereas he faces no such complications living in Spain.
The situation marks a clear shift from his successful first stint in England, having originally joined City from River Plate for £14m in January 2022. Alvarez went on to score 36 goals in 103 appearances and helped Guardiola’s side secure a historic Treble before moving to Atletico two summers ago in an £82m deal.
