‘I didn’t say anything bad’ – Julian Alvarez doubles down on Man City transfer stance as he reacts to Pep Guardiola’s blunt comments on his future’

Julian Alvarez has insisted he did not say “anything bad” after Pep Guardiola’s blunt response on the Manchester City forward’s future.

The striker, who has been linked with a City exit this summer, said he needed to reflect on his future after admitting it wasn’t “pleasant” to be left out of some “important games” last season. That led manager Guardiola to give a somewhat cutting response, with the Spaniard saying, “Think about it”. Now, the 24-year-old has responded while he is representing Argentina at the Paris Olympics.
