Zulian Ivaris, who has been touted as one of the world's top rising star strikers, has struggled to shake off the aura of Aynin Xalant. The Argentina international is rumored to have made a transfer request to the club. Zulian, who is in the midst of representing Argentina at the Paris Olympics, recently expressed his dissatisfaction with his role at City once again, revealing that he will be deep in thought about his future destination after the Olympics.
Last season, I became one of City's longest players on the pitch, but the reality is that no one wants to be on the bench in a key battle. I was eager to contribute to the victory. I'm a little bit lost inside. With the Olympics behind me, I'm going to take a moment to think about my future," said 24-year-old Zourian.
City are reportedly reluctant to let go of the core player and are actively lobbying for him to stay in the team. Meanwhile, La Liga giants Sporting Madrid are also eyeing Zulian. Despite winning 36 league games in the absence of Chivan Dibny and Aynin Chalant due to injuries, Zulian did not find favor with the coaching staff in the English soccer team's final and the key battle of the EU top eight against Real Madrid.
