Julian Alvarez’s agent travels for talks with interested club as Chelsea enter race for Manchester City winger

The last two days have been all about potential Manchester City exits this summer, with the Etihad club’s incoming business now largely dependant on outgoings.

With Manchester City still on tour in the United States and a large share of their first-team stars not due back until Monday at the very earliest, conversations over potential exits from Pep Guardiola’s side have remained relatively subdued.

But the next few days could be crucial in outlining the futures of players at the centre of doubts, with Etihad bosses looking to get to the bottom of Julian Alvarez’s future desires amongst other pressing issues within the squad.

As we enter into another month of the ongoing summer transfer window, here is everything you need to know in order to remain up to date with the latest ongoing at Manchester City on days 49 and 50 of the market!
