Pep Guardiola and Julián Álvarez

Guardiola gives Julián Álvarez space to decide his future, saying 'think about it' and wait for his decision, amid uncertainty over the Argentine forward's desire for more playing time at Manchester City.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has addressed the uncertainty surrounding Julián Álvarez's future at the club. When asked about Álvarez's recent comments, where he stated he would “think about” his situation after the Olympics, Guardiola responded with a calm and collected tone.

“I read that he's going to think about it. Ok, think about it... then he will inform us what he wants to do,” Guardiola said. The manager acknowledged Álvarez's desire for more playing time, saying, “Julián played a lot. He wants more? It's fine. So that's why... think about it. And when he thinks about it, he will inform us.”

Guardiola's words indicate that he is giving Álvarez the space and time he needs to make a decision about his future. The Argentine forward has been impressive in his performances, and it's clear that Guardiola values him as a player. However, the manager also understands Álvarez's desire for more playing time, and is willing to wait for him to make a decision.
