In fact, after Dida and Cafu, he became the third player in football history to have won the World Cup, Copa America, Copa Libertadores, Champions League and Club World Cup.

On 31 January 2022, his 22nd birthday, it was confirmed that Álvarez had signed for Premier League champions Manchester City on a five-and-a-half-year contract, but with the player remaining at River Plate on loan until July.

Julian Álvarez is a versatile forward who can play anywhere on the frontline. He is direct, quick, and has graceful control with his right foot, often converting awkward chances. Alvarez is also a good link-up player, with the technique and vision to play quick passes and one-touch football Playing against rough South American tacklers, his dribbling and ability to manoeuvre in tight spaces are sublime. Alvarez is also a very hardworking player, running around off the ball and capable of leading a strong press.

Álvarez's first touch is incredibly composed and always intentional, with him capable of both killing a ball dead or nudging it away from a defender and into his own path. While not a particularly skilful dribbler, Alvarez is a powerful runner. His slightly hunched running style allows him to barrel through challenges and protect the ball effectively, and there’s a tenacity and doggedness to his carrying that makes him difficult to stop. Alvarez is used to playing in a two-striker system in a team with an extremely settled style of play.

In the 2023–24 season, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has often used Álvarez as an attacking midfielder in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne. Álvarez's intelligent running, passing and possession has led to him thriving in this position, and he has often been lauded by pundits for successfully adapting to the requirements of the new position.
