(Reuters) - Argentine forward Julian Alvarez wanted a change in his career after a short but trophy-laden spell at Premier League club Manchester City and the 24-year-old said on Friday he was excited about starting a new challenge at Atletico Madrid.
Alvarez joined Atletico on a six-year contract on Monday and, while financial details of the deal were not disclosed by either club, British media reported that the transfer was worth around 75 million euros ($82.46 million) plus 20 million euros in potential add-ons.
