Julian Alvarez, a forward for Manchester City, says he will decide his future with the team during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.The 24-year-old Alvarez is scheduled to start for Argentina for the third time at the Olympics on Tuesday in Lyon (16:00 BST) against Ukraine.
Alvarez extended his contract with City for another year in March 2023, bringing his total tenure there until 2028.
When asked about his future with City, Alvarez responded, "There is a lot of talk," prior to the match against Ukraine.
"Since the Olympics are a brief competition, my attention is concentrated here. I feel great at Manchester City, where I played for many minutes.
"However, after the Games, we shall see. I will first try to take a few days off. After that, we'll make a decision."
Alvarez was a substitute in May's FA Cup final loss by City to Manchester United, and he has since been connected to a transfer to Atletico Madrid.
"Maybe it's annoying to be out in big games; players always want to help on the pitch," he said. "But my season was good, so I'm very happy."
While on a preseason tour of the United States with City, manager Pep Guardiola acknowledged that Alvarez was contemplating his future.
Guardiola said, "I don't think about replacing," exterior
"The other players also want to play during crucial periods, as far as I'm aware.
"Eighteen or nineteen of our guys want to participate in the big games.
"I read he has to think about it, so OK, think about it, and after that, he will inform us what he wants to do."
On August 6, 2023, Alvarez participated in the Community Shield matchup with Arsenal. On August 9, the men's gold medal match at the Olympics will take place.
