Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Striker Atletico Madrid, Julian Alvarez reportedly opens up the opportunity to return to playing in the Premier League as desired Chelsea to recruit him.
Alvarez is having an enjoyable time at Atletico. The player from Argentina managed to score 29 goals in his first season after being brought in from Manchester City.
This season, Alvarez is also productive. The player who won two Premier League titles while still in Man City uniform has scored 11 goals in all competitions.

The consistent sharpness shown by Alvarez at Atletico has made a number of clubs interested in recruiting him ahead of the new season. Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are on this list.
Reporting from Metro, Chelsea is also not left behind in the hunt to bring in Alvarez. This is because the two recruits on the front line, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, are not yet satisfactory.
Joao Pedro is performing better than Delap. The Brazilian striker has scored eight goals in all competitions, while Delap has only scored one goal because he is often absent due to injury.
The news circulating in Spain also opens up opportunities for Chelsea. This is because it is claimed that Alvarez does not rule out the possibility of experiencing the rigors of the Premier League again.
While still in Man City uniform, Alvarez was never guaranteed to play as a starter on the front line. Even so, the 25 year old player was able to score 36 goals over two seasons.
