Julian Alvarez's agent CONFIRMS Liverpool transfer plan

The agent of Julian Alvarez has confirmed details of Anfield Watch's exclusive on interest from Liverpool. Here's what he said.

Anfield Watch broke the news on Friday evening that Liverpool are looking to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. The Reds have been interested for a while and will look into a move this summer.

Liverpool will be looking at forwards over the next few months as part of a major overhaul in attack. They want to ship out a good few players to make way - essentially giving Arne Slot an attack for his system, rather than what he has now.

Which is, obviously, Jurgen Klopp's attack. Klopp and Jorg Schmadtke built this forward line and while it's been successful (and on the brink of the Premier League title no less), there's a sense that more can be achieved. A purpose-built forward line for Slot should move Liverpool up a level.

That's the plan in targeting someone like Alvarez. Though, that's not a new pursuit.

Liverpool tried to sign the Argentine last summer and did talk with Manchester City. They couldn't secure a deal, though, and Alvarez went to Atletico.

As confirmed by his agent.

Julian Alvarez's agent speaks

“I confirm that Liverpool were interested in Julian last season," Fernando Hidalgo told WinWinAllSports. “As for the future, this is not the right time to talk about it, as Julian is competing in important tournaments and is fully focused on them.”

As we understand, there will indeed be further talks in 2025 as Liverpool try again. That doesn't necessarily mean Alvarez tops their shortlist for a new centre-forward but the Argentine certainly has many high-profile believers at Liverpool.

But we'll need to wait and see on price and availability. Atletico certainly won't wish to sell their star signing, though it's not thought to be impossible for Liverpool to get him.

Atletico would want a very healthy profit at the very least, mind.

Liverpool will try to get this one done and potentially with more energy than last summer. At lot of that may depend on how the Alexander Isak pursuit goes.
