# Aston Villa: Fans react to Julian Alvarez transfer latest

**Aston Villa are set to make an offer of more than €10m (£8.5m) for River Plate’s Julian Alvarez, according to Argentine outlet [TNT Sports](https://tntsports.com.ar/ligaprofesional/Se-va-del-Millonario-El-equipo-de-Europa-que-se-quiere-llevar-a-Julian-Alvarez-despues-de-la-Copa-America-El-delantero-de-River-podria-irse-al-Aston-Villa-20210710-0002.html), and a number of Villa supporters have been reacting to the update on social media.**

Villa have already brought in [Emiliano Buendia and Ashley Young this summer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/transfers/verein/405) and were [linked](https://www.calciomercato.it/2021/06/18/calciomercato-ajax-aston-villa-julian-alvarez-river-plate-juventus/) with a move for Alvarez last month.

The 21-year-old made [one appearance](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/julian-alvarez/nationalmannschaft/spieler/576024/wettbewerb_id/CAM2) in Argentina’s Copa America triumph, and according to [TNT Sports](https://tntsports.com.ar/ligaprofesional/Se-va-del-Millonario-El-equipo-de-Europa-que-se-quiere-llevar-a-Julian-Alvarez-despues-de-la-Copa-America-El-delantero-de-River-podria-irse-al-Aston-Villa-20210710-0002.html), his representative is in England. The [report](https://tntsports.com.ar/ligaprofesional/Se-va-del-Millonario-El-equipo-de-Europa-que-se-quiere-llevar-a-Julian-Alvarez-despues-de-la-Copa-America-El-delantero-de-River-podria-irse-al-Aston-Villa-20210710-0002.html) suggests that an offer of more than €10m is set to be tabled in the next few days.

Alvarez, who has 16 goals and 17 assists in [69 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/julian-alvarez/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/576024/verein/209) for River Plate, is valued at £13.5m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/julian-alvarez/profil/spieler/576024) but has just [18 months left](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/julian-alvarez/profil/spieler/576024) on his contract for Los Millionarios.

### Villa fans react

[@villareport](https://twitter.com/villareport/status/1413888517290213377?s=21) shared the news regarding Villa’s planned bid for Alvarez on Twitter. Here is what these fans had to say in reply, with some relieved that the [reported pursuit](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-arsenal-smith-rowe-21014689) of Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe seems to have died off.

**“Got the impression a few weeks ago that he was a contingency should we fail in our attempts to sign Smith Rowe. Alvarez, Jack and Buendia all interchanging behind Ollie UTV”**
