Transfers: fresh details on PSG's interest in Alvarez

Julián Álvarez, the 26-year-old forward for Argentina and Atlético Madrid (under contract until 2030), had been mentioned as a Paris Saint-Germain target during the summer of 2024, when he left Manchester City. But the idea of a move to Paris has resurfaced recently. However, Sport ruled it out this Tuesday, leaving the way clear for FC Barcelona.

“PSG is not considering signing the Argentine”

Sources at PSG, consulted by SPORT, simply indicated that Julián Álvarez is not currently part of Luis Enrique’s plans. Any potential change in the Paris attack would head in a different direction and would also depend on player departures. For now, despite Luis Enrique’s admiration for Julián Álvarez, PSG is not considering signing the Argentine, let alone spending such a sum on a forward, as long as the club has not resolved its issues with outgoing transfers.

“At Barça, it’s time to calm things down around Julián Álvarez.”

At Barça, especially after the many matches against Atlético Madrid, it is time to calm things down around Julián Álvarez. There needs to be less noise and more patience while waiting for the end of the season, for Mateu Alemany to abandon his maximalist approach and find the right people to facilitate possible negotiations with Barça.”

Nothing is impossible, but caution is naturally needed when it comes to a rumor. However, it is at least as credible as a PSG attempt for Álvarez. He is an interesting player, but he already passed on Paris when he left Manchester City and seems very expensive at the moment. In any case, there is nothing concrete pointing toward a transfer.

A change is not impossible, but Paris, the Argentine, and Atlético may all have very different priorities. It would not be surprising if PSG is actually moving for a player who is currently mentioned little, if at all.
