Julián Alvarez reveals PSG approach and doesn’t rule out future move | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid forward Julián Alvarez (25) has revealed that, at the time of his move to the Spanish capital, he had also been approached by Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentina international has not ruled out a future move to the Parc des Princes, in an interview with L’Équipe. 

Alvarez made the move from Manchester City to Atlético de Madrid back in the summer of 2024, for a reported fee of €75m. He has become a key player for the La Liga side, netting nine goals in 17 games this season, and overall netting an impressive 38 goals in 71 games. 

‘In Spain, people speak a lot about me and Barcelona’ – Alvarez

However, it could have been very different, as he now reveals. “When I signed for Atlético, we spoke a lot about Paris. It’s true. There were discussions between the PSG hierarchy and my agent. They showed interest in signing me, but it didn’t happen,” the Argentina international told L’Équipe. 

However, Alvarez has not ruled out a future move to the Parc des Princes. He continues to be linked with a move to the European champions, as well as to Barcelona. “Do I plan on playing at Barcelona or at PSG? Honestly, I don’t know. I see what people say on social media… in Spain, people speak a lot about me and Barcelona […] for now, I am focused on Atlético and we will review at the end of the season,” said the former Manchester City forward.
