With his contract at Atlético de Madrid valid until June 30, 2030, Julian Alvarez could still make a summer exit. The PSG is now locked in a fierce battle with FC Barcelona to sign the Argentine forward. To prevent potential friction within the Parisian squad, the club’s hierarchy has reportedly taken proactive steps with the player’s representatives.
Julian Alvarez dazzled in Manchester City colors during the 2023-2024 season, prompting swift action from PSG. With Erling Haaland firmly entrenched as City’s first-choice striker, Parisian officials pursued Alvarez but were outpaced by a €75 million deal that sent him to Atlético de Madrid instead.
PSG seeks to delay transfer talks
Despite falling short in their previous attempt, PSG is back in the hunt for Alvarez this summer. While the Argentine remains under contract with Atlético de Madrid, club advisor Luis Campos is leaving no stone unturned to secure his signature. The challenge? Competing against a determined Barcelona side, also vying for the player’s services. Parisian officials have already reached out to Alvarez’s agent to gain an early advantage in the race.
Champions League final takes priority
Club insiders confirm PSG’s sporting director met with Fernando Hidalgo to express their interest in Alvarez. Additionally, the French club requested that official negotiations be postponed until after the Champions League final against Arsenal. The goal was clear: shield the squad from transfer distractions during its most critical match of the season. The strategy paid off, with PSG lifting the trophy in dramatic fashion. Now, the question remains whether Paris will successfully land Alvarez this summer.
