Manchester City have confirmed that they have extended the contract of Julian Alvarez until 2028 in recognition of an impressive debut season from the Argentine World Cup winner.

In his first season in England, Alvarez scored 10 goals in 33 appearances despite having to play second fiddle to Erling Haaland.

The 23-year-old also contributed significantly to Argentina’s third World Cup victory in Qatar.

Alvarez scored four goals during the tournament, including two against Croatia in the semifinal victory.

The former River Plate forward reportedly received a substantial salary increase and a one-year extension to the contract he signed just over a year ago.

“This is a very proud moment for me and my family. For a club like City to put their faith in me like this is amazing,” said Alvarez in a club statement.

“I have been really pleased with my first season here, but I have plenty more I can do. I know I can be better, and City offer me everything I need to fulfil my potential.”
