Earlier on Wednesday, Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano confirmed that Álvarez will not be going on loan this summer.

“We’ve had many offers from clubs to loan Julian Alvarez, but he is not going to leave. “He will do preseason with us and I think he will stay. Barcelona? No, Barcelona were not interested.”

Remember the name.
