SKY SPORTS Confirm Liverpool Complete Sensational Overnight Deal as Julián Álvarez Signs at Anfield

“Liverpool stun the football world as Julián Álvarez leaves Manchester City in a dramatic overnight switch to Anfield — ending the club’s pursuit of Alexander Isak.”

 

 

 

In a shocking turn of events, Liverpool have officially completed the signing of Manchester City forward Julián Álvarez, with reports from Sky Sports confirming the deal was sealed overnight. The move comes as one of the most unexpected transfers of the summer window, catching both fans and pundits off guard.

 

The Argentine star, who has often been hailed as one of the most versatile attacking talents in the Premier League, is now set to wear the red of Liverpool. According to reports, the deal was wrapped up swiftly, with personal terms agreed almost instantly.

 

How Did This Happen?

 

Álvarez, despite his impressive record at Manchester City, often found himself in the shadow of Erling Haaland. Sources close to the player suggest that the striker was keen on a move where he could become the main man rather than a backup option. Liverpool, who have been searching for a clinical forward to bolster their attack, seized the opportunity.

 

Manager Arne Slot was said to be heavily involved in pushing for the transfer, convinced that Álvarez’s energy, versatility, and finishing ability would fit seamlessly into his new-look Liverpool side.

 

What This Means for Alexander Isak

 

Liverpool had been heavily linked with a record-breaking move for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, but this latest signing changes everything. With Álvarez now at Anfield, insiders believe the Isak deal is effectively “over.” Slot reportedly prioritized Álvarez due to his adaptability, ability to press from the front, and proven track record at the highest level.

 

Reaction from Fans and Pundits

 

The news has sent shockwaves across the football world. Liverpool fans are ecstatic, calling the move a “masterstroke” and praising the club’s swift action. Meanwhile, City fans are stunned that their club has allowed a young, world-class forward to join a direct rival.

 

Football pundit Jamie Carragher described the transfer as:

 

> “One of the boldest moves Liverpool have made in recent years. Álvarez is a winner, a player with a Champions League medal and a World Cup medal at just 24. This could change the dynamics of the title race.”

 

 

 

The Numbers Behind the Deal

 

While official figures are yet to be confirmed, early reports suggest Liverpool paid a significant fee to secure the Argentine forward, believed to be around £70–80 million. Álvarez has signed a long-term contract, committing his prime years to Anfield.
