Atlético de Madrid eye Lautaro Martínez if Julián Alvarez joins PSG | OneFootball

The Colchonero sees it as possible that the Spider could continue his career in Paris. That is why it is targeting the Bull as the main alternative to fill the center-forward position.

The European football transfer market is getting closer and closer. And although it will take place in the middle of the World Cup, clubs will be focused on finding the best options ahead of the 2026/2027 season. And apparently, one of the main protagonists of this period, which will run from June 30 to September 1, will be Atlético de Madrid.
