PSG setback as Alvarez tipped for Barcelona move

With the summer transfer window approaching, Paris Saint-Germain is gearing up for another ambitious spending spree to bolster their squad. The club’s primary target this year appears to be Julian Alvarez, the prolific striker from Atlético Madrid, but a major hurdle has emerged: the Argentine forward is now widely expected to join Barcelona instead.

Barcelona poised to make a bold 100 million euro bid

The race to sign Julian Alvarez has intensified, with Barcelona now leading the chase. According to Fabrizio Romano, the renowned transfer expert, the Catalan giants are preparing a substantial offer—estimated at around 100 million euros—which could land in the coming days. Despite internal discussions still underway, the offer is expected to be submitted before the World Cup begins. Notably, this bid is unlikely to involve any player exchanges, focusing solely on a direct cash payment.

Alvarez’s future appears already decided

The possibility of Paris Saint-Germain securing Alvarez’s signature appears increasingly unlikely. The Argentine international has made his intentions crystal clear: he has no plans to renew his contract with Atlético Madrid and is determined to move elsewhere. Fabrizio Romano emphasizes that Alvarez’s next destination is already set, stating, “His future is no longer a mystery—Barcelona is his destination.”
