The situation surrounding the transfer of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez is intensifying. According to ESPN, Paris Saint-Germain has identified the Argentine as one of their primary targets for the summer transfer window. The Parisians will have to face stiff competition from giants like Barcelona and Arsenal. This is reported by Goal.com .
Atletico head coach Diego Simeone acknowledged the high market demand for the player and reacted calmly to the rumors. Meanwhile, Barcelona's management views Julian Alvarez as the prime candidate to replace Robert Lewandowski, as the Polish striker's contract is nearing its end.
For PSG, the central striker position remains one of the team's weakest points. Luis Enrique has been forced to use wingers like Ousmane Dembele, as expensive signings such as Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani have failed to live up to expectations. The Parisians have settled on Alvarez to strengthen their attacking line.
This season, Julian Alvarez has made 49 appearances for Atletico, scoring 20 goals and providing 9 assists. The player's contract runs until 2029, and his transfer fee is expected to exceed 100 million euros. Under Spanish law, the player's release clause stands at half a billion euros.
