The Parisian people woke up with a smile this Sunday morning and therefore continue to fully enjoy their second consecutive Champions League title, this time against Arsenal. However, the summer transfer window is approaching and business remains essential in Paris. This is why, behind the scenes, PSG leaders are already working on the next project, which would be built by a talented, concerned group without star status.
In this context, a priority target has been present for days in the capital: Julián Álvarez. If the 26-year-old Argentine striker is also closely followed by FC Barcelona, since El Chiringuto mentioned a desire by the player to join Catalonia, the file remains open for the Parisians. It is at this moment that the bosses, Luis Campos and Luis Enrique, enter the dance to continue to explore his case.
A gigantic sum or nothing
Indeed, in recent days, several pieces of information have circulated around the future of the 2022 world champion, whether in France or on the other side of the Pyrenees. Atlético de Madrid would like to keep him, but in reality, Paris knows perfectly how to go about convincing the Colchoneros to let him go this summer. Significant arguments, which would distance Barça from the file, already active before the summer window by having recovered Anthony Godron. As indicated Sportthe Ile-de-France leaders would have maintained a dialogue with Fernando Hidalgo, the player’s agent, in order to secure his plan and get past the Blaugranas. Certainly, PSG left the file warm before preparing for their final against the Gunners, but it was not for nothing, because the European champions are finally ready to make a colossal investment in the striker.
Atlético de Madrid would only consider a departure from an offer greater than 100 million euros, and this gigantic sum only seems to be a detail, since it is the profile that would certainly appeal to the capital. Luis Enrique is clear: he wants a mobile attacker, capable of playing in several positions offensively, and above all with a mentality of steel. Concretely, the player must have the same mentality as his men, winners of five trophies this season and almost impeccable. It remains to be seen whether Álvarez himself will agree to discover a new adventure with Ousamne Démbélé’s teammates next season. For its part, Madrid is waiting for a new offer with open arms and intends to fill its pockets if the proposal is more than tempting.
