2026–27 Season performance
Through November 8, his 2026–27 LaLiga sample comprises eight appearances, three starts and 420 minutes, yielding one goal and two assists. That return needs to be read alongside his minutes. Increasing his penalty-area threat while retaining his contribution to attacking combinations is the next objective.

Álvarez joined River Plate’s youth setup in 2016 and made his professional debut in 2018, participating in that year’s Copa Libertadores triumph before adding domestic honours. He moved to Manchester City in 2022 and won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble in his first season.
With Argentina he won the 2022 World Cup and the 2021 and 2024 Copa América titles. A 2024 move to Atlético Madrid opened his LaLiga chapter. River, City and Atlético exposed him to different attacking environments, building a career that includes finishing, combinations and movement across several forward roles.
