Speculation surrounding the future of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez continues to intensify this summer, with European giants showing keen interest. While Barcelona has been heavily linked as a potential suitor, looking to replace Robert Lewandowski, another major club is now set to enter the race.
According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will make an attempt to sign Alvarez during the upcoming transfer window. This interest is not new, as PSG had previously tried to acquire the Argentine international when he was departing Manchester City. They are reportedly planning to explore the feasibility of a deal and will make a move if they deem it possible.
Despite the growing interest, Atletico Madrid’s stance remains firm. The club has consistently expressed that they are not concerned about Alvarez’s future, highlighting his contract that runs until 2030. Furthermore, Atletico has no intention of selling the player and is prepared to offer him a new contract with a significant wage increase if he wishes to stay.
In the event that Alvarez expresses a desire to leave, Atletico’s preference would be to sell him to a club outside of Spain, aiming to avoid strengthening a direct rival like Barcelona. This preference could potentially give Arsenal and PSG an advantage, should Alvarez decide to move on. However, it remains uncertain at this point whether Alvarez himself has any intention of leaving Atletico Madrid.
