PSG may be experiencing another exceptional season, but the next summer transfer window could give rise to a resounding transfer. According to El Chiringuito, Parisian leaders would indeed be in contact with their counterparts at Atletico Madrid regarding Julian Alvarez.
Luis Campos and his teams would have made the Argentine striker one of the priorities of the summer, despite the XXL sum that will surely have to be paid to secure the services of the former Mancunian. Because if the Colchoneros seem open to the idea of the world champion leaving, they would indeed ask for no less than 150 million euros to let him leave.
But for Dave Appaddoo, despite the offensive strike force of PSG, the arrival of Julian Alvarez in Paris would be a blessing for Luis Enrique. “He is a versatile player, who can play several positions. It’s a joy for Luis Enrique, who won’t need to train him on this”he said on the set of the Chaîne L’Equipe.
More than an alternative to Ousmane Dembélé
“Paris is a team that has more turnover, that has more room in Ligue 1 to bring more people into play,” he continued, adding: “He’s a player who really has a sense of effort. He ticks another box. And he performs very well in major competitions.”
“The club only recruits exactly what is needed for the team. Julian Alvarez can be more than an alternative to Ousmane Dembelé, who does not play 40 or 50 matches per season.he added.
Note that according to Sport, Julian Alvarez does not appear in Luis Enrique’s plans, with PSG favoring other options to strengthen its attack this summer. The situation could nevertheless change in the event of major departures in the Parisian ranks.
