Following the conclusion of the Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain’s leadership is reportedly poised to launch its offensive to finalize the acquisition of Julian Alvarez. The capital club is understood to be formulating a robust offer to pry the Argentine forward from Atlético de Madrid, who are reportedly demanding in excess of €100 million for his services.
During the summer of 2024, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s PSG attempted to recruit Julian Alvarez, though their efforts proved unsuccessful at the time. Unfortunately for the Parisian giants, the 26-year-old striker ultimately opted to join Atlético de Madrid. It is worth recalling that the Colchoneros managed to convince Manchester City with an offer believed to be around €75 million.
Paris Saint-Germain gears up for Alvarez transfer offensive
Despite Julian Alvarez having previously spurned their advances two years ago, PSG has not abandoned its interest in the player. Indeed, Luis Campos reportedly reactivated the pursuit of the Argentine international, with the aim of securing him for Luis Enrique this summer. According to confidential information, the sporting management of PSG recently held discussions with Fernando Hidalgo. It was revealed that the red and blue club expressed its strong interest to Julian Alvarez’s agent, before making a specific request. As PSG was preparing for the Champions League final, a deferral of negotiations was requested to avoid any internal tensions that could potentially disrupt preparations for such a vital match.
Atlético demands over €100 million for Alvarez
Reports indicate that Atlético de Madrid is patiently anticipating a substantial offer, significantly surpassing €100 million, for the transfer of Julian Alvarez. Having secured the Champions League title for the second consecutive year, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s PSG is expected to move forward promptly, preparing an official proposal to present to the Colchoneros for their number 19. The crucial question now remains whether Julian Alvarez will agree to join PSG this time around.
