Transfer news – Alvarez wants to leave, Atlético Madrid demand huge fee

Julian Alvarez, the 26-year-old striker for Argentina and Atlético Madrid (under contract until 2030), had been linked with Paris Saint-Germain during the summer of 2024, when he left Manchester City. But he could now be on the move again, with PSG and FC Barcelona on alert, and possibly Arsenal as well. That idea was confirmed by Cadena SER on Wednesday, along with the price set by the Madrid club.

“The Argentine player has given the green light to his departure. The striker believes he will develop more at a club similar to FC Barcelona, his preferred destination, or Paris Saint-Germain. Given the behind-the-scenes moves and the behavior of agents, intermediaries and representatives from other clubs, the Atlético Madrid hierarchy already suspected that the Argentine wanted to leave. Atlético Madrid is therefore being very clear: Julián was a marquee signing, a very expensive transfer, and if he leaves, it will be for a fee of around €150 million, a figure Gil Marín himself communicated to FC Barcelona, with whom he has already made contact.”

A credible report, in line with the rumors, but still not enough to provide any certainty. Of course, the accumulation of reports suggests the case is real, and may even be progressing. Except there is not the slightest concrete element. We have already seen the media get carried away over nothing. So we have to wait.

Confirmation will eventually come, unless it is a clear denial. For now, the uncertainty remains, with a player who could perfectly fit PSG’s style of play. But he could also turn toward Barcelona, or even another major club. Like Arsenal. Let’s wait to learn more. But negotiations can only be difficult for such a player. The price is far from certain, except that it is sure to be very high.
