Julián Álvarez reveals talks with PSG, transfer not ruled out | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid forward Julián Álvarez revealed this Saturday that, before joining the Spanish team in 2024, he had talks with Paris Saint-Germain about strengthening the French side. Frequently linked to Barcelona by the press and fans, the Argentine also did not rule out a transfer at the end of the season.

“In Spain, there’s a lot of talk about me and Barcelona. When I signed with Atlético last year, there was also a lot of talk about Paris. It’s true that there were conversations between PSG officials and my agent, they showed interest in signing me, but the deal didn’t go through. For now, I’m focused on Atlético. We’ll assess things at the end of the season,” he said in an interview with France Football.

The Argentine player also commented on his relationship with fellow countryman Diego Simeone, coach of Atlético de Madrid. Julián Álvarez praised the coach and highlighted that they share the same “vision of the game.”

“We share the same vision of football: the passion, the work, the dedication, that desire to fight against two huge clubs, to never give up, to always believe. On the field, he gives me confidence and grants me total freedom. Our relationship is very positive,” he added.
