  • Julian Alvarez hint

    Julian Alvarez has admitted he is not happy being left out of the biggest Manchester City games.

    And the Argentina international says he will make a decision on his club future once the Olympics are over.

    Now he has cast doubt on whether he will ever go back - with Atletico Madrid among a few Premier League clubs monitoring the situation.

    Last season, I was one of the City players with the most minutes on the team.

    But it's true; in the end, you don't like being left out of important matches. You want to contribute.

    I haven't stopped to think clearly about what I'm going to do.

    When the Olympics is over I'll take my time to think about what I want for myself. We'll see what comes next.
