Morata's departure means Atletico Madrid must dip into the market to sign a replacement for the Spaniard. According to Spanish outlet<a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/atletico-madrid/20240716/1002283050/bombazo-prepara-atleti-sustituir-morata.html" target="_blank"> Mundo Deportivo</a>, Diego Simeone would like to pursue Alvarez, who is fresh off <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/julian-alvarez-lionel-messi-alphonso-davies-winners-and-losers-argentina-copa-america-canada/blt547fbedd3ae740f4" target="_blank">winning this summer's Copa America with Argentina</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

It may seem like Alvarez is an unrealistic signing for Atletico, who are not notorious for spending big in the market. But they have the advantage of knowing that<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/julian-alvarez-man-city-chelsea-psg/blt03e3382dd3d8ec58" target="_blank"> Alvarez wants to leave the Premier League champions</a>, rather than play second fiddle to Erling Haaland.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Alvarez still made 52 appearances in all competitions last term, although a significant number were from the bench. He did have a run while Haaland was injured during the campaign, and by the time Pep Guardiola's side were crowned champions, he had netted 19 times and tallied 13 assists.

DID YOU KNOW?

After what will likely be a short break, Alvarez is due to check in with Manchester City for pre-season. Reports suggest it will take around £70 million (€83.4m/$91.2m) for the English side to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/atletico-madrid-argentina-players-convince-man-city-julian-alvarez-summer-transfer-la-liga/bltc6095fadfaf61ee4" target="_blank">consider parting ways with the 24-year-old.</a>
