Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has claimed while he is not thinking about the possibility of Julian Alvarez departing, the Argentine may be allowed to leave if he ultimately wants out of the club.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Alvarez has not always been a guaranteed starter during his two-year stint at the Etihad Stadium thus far, even though he has played 103 games in that time.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Alvarez put Europe\u2019s top clubs on alert when he admitted he\u00a0still needs to think about his future at City, stressing his desire to play in their biggest games.<\/p>\n
While away with Argentina\u2019s Olympic team, Alvarez told\u00a0DIRECTV Sports: \u201cI haven\u2019t stopped to think about what I\u2019m going to do. When this [the Olympics] is over I\u2019ll start thinking about what I want for myself. We\u2019ll see how things go.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast season I was one of the players who played the most minutes in the team. But it\u2019s true: in the end, in important games, you don\u2019t like being left out and you want to contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guardiola\u00a0has now been given an opportunity to respond to Alvarez\u2019s comments, stating a decision over the forward\u2019s future will be decided and communicated with\u00a0City\u2019s\u00a0director of football, Txiki Begiristain, after the Olympics.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think about replacing [Alvarez]. I knew he said he will think about it,\u201d Guardiola said. \u201cOnce he has finished thinking, his agent will call Txiki and we will see what happens.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know he wants to play in important moments, but the other players [want that] too. We have 18 or 19 players who want to play in the important games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI read he has to think about it, so OK, think about it, and after that he will inform us what he wants to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alvarez has been linked with the likes of Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid during the summer\u00a0transfer\u00a0window.<\/p>\n
