Club career


Álvarez played for several youth teams in his home city of Santa Cruz in Bolivia, including Club Destroyers and Club Callejas.[1]

In August 2010, Álvarez was signed by Cruzeiro of Brazil.[2][3] He did not play a first team game for Cruzeiro prior to the 2011 Copa America, and he was not named in Bolivia's squad for the tournament.[4]

In August 2011, Álvarez announced that he was considering a move to Europe, citing that talks between his agent and one club in Germany and another in Italy were underway.[5]


International career


During his time with Callejas, he was called up by the Bolivia under-17s to play as their lone striker in the 2009 South American Under-17 Football Championship. He scored three goals in the tournament, including a double against Ecuador under-17s in the final group stage.[6][7]

Later in 2009, as a 17-year-old, Álvarez was called up to the senior Bolivia side.[8] He made his first senior international appearance as a substitute against Venezuela in a qualifying match for the 2010 FIFA World Cup on 6 June 2009.[9] He gained a second cap the following year in a 5–0 friendly match defeat to Mexico in February 2010.[10]
