 Pep Guardiola has said that Manchester City might sign a backup striker for Erling Haaland before Julian Alvarez moves to Atletico Madrid.

Guardiola makes a hint about getting a new striker.

City will lose forward Alvarez to Atletico for a record-breaking £82 million ($104 million). This will leave them with only Haaland up front. The Norwegian scores many goals but can't play in every game.

 Having an extra choice to replace Alvarez's goals would be brilliant. Guardiola, the boss, didn't say they would sign someone else for sure, but he also didn't say they wouldn't.

Reporters asked him, "We'll see what the chances are at the end of the market if, say, a club needs to sell more than now. I don't know.

 When we go to the market now, knowing that we made a good financial deal with Julian, everyone is waiting with open arms to say, "Come here.

That's why you have to wait and see what happens. Since the club has done well before. Many players didn't come because the club couldn't pay what the other club asked for them. The club will always play by the rules.

After Alvarez and Guardiola said some things to each other this summer, it was clear that he would be leaving. It was important for the Argentine World Cup winner to play in more big games, and he may now get that chance at Atletico.

 City will make a lot of money when they sell Alvarez, but they might need someone to score goals for them if they want to win the big trophies this season.

The last day to make summer transfers is August 30, so City hasn't long to improve their attack. Their next game is against Manchester United in the Community Shield on Saturday afternoon at Wembley.
