Following the conclusion of the Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain’s leadership is poised to initiate efforts to secure Julian Alvarez. The capital club reportedly intends to submit a formal bid to acquire the Argentine forward from Atlético de Madrid, who are said to be demanding in excess of €100 million.
In the summer of 2024, Paris Saint-Germain, under Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, pursued Julian Alvarez without success. The 26-year-old forward apparently opted to join Atlético de Madrid instead of the Parisian club. It is understood that the Colchoneros secured his transfer from the Citizens with an offer reportedly around €75 million.
Paris Saint-Germain intensifies pursuit of Alvarez
Despite Julian Alvarez having previously bypassed Paris Saint-Germain two years prior, the club has not abandoned its interest. Luis Campos, the club’s football advisor, has reignited efforts to bring the Argentine international to Luis Enrique’s squad this summer. The sporting directorate of Paris Saint-Germain recently held discussions with Fernando Hidalgo, Julian Alvarez’s representative. The Parisian side conveyed its interest to Alvarez’s agent and requested a deferral of negotiations. This delay was sought to prevent any potential internal disruptions that could affect preparations for the crucial Champions League final.
Atlético seeks over €100 million for Alvarez transfer
Atlético de Madrid anticipates a substantial offer, significantly exceeding €100 million, for the transfer of Julian Alvarez. Paris Saint-Germain, led by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, having been crowned Champions League winners for the second consecutive year, is expected to soon formalize a proposal to the Colchoneros for their number 19. The key question remains whether Julian Alvarez will agree to join Paris Saint-Germain on this occasion.
