In recent seasons, the Luis Campos – Luis Enrique duo has shown that it is rather very successful on the transfer market. Under the leadership of the Spanish technician, PSG no longer really wants to splurge on the transfer window and the capital club only recruits if there are major shortcomings. Last season, PSG ultimately only recruited Lucas Chevalier and Ilia Zabarnyi since Luis Enrique felt that it was not necessary to take an understudy from Achraf Hakimi nor to recruit a new striker.
Choices which once again proved the former Barça coach right since, for the second year in a row, PSG is in the Champions League final and will dream of a second star. But this summer, PSG risks being a little more active in the transfer window. And particularly in the offensive sector where departures are not excluded while Ibrahim Mbaye is popular in England and Gonçalo Ramos is regularly announced for Italy. In terms of arrivals, PSG has already targeted its priority.

He would be tempted to play under the orders of Luis Enrique from next season.
But for the moment, the Spanish media specifies that no club has directly contacted Atlético, which still dreams of keeping it. The Spanish club, however, suspects the player’s entourage of having already started discussing with clubs. Under contract until June 2030, the Argentinian will not be sold off by the Madrilenians in the event of a sale. The SER also reports that this file risks dragging on this summer since a good World Cup for Julian Alvarez with Argentina would further explode its market value and it is very likely that Atlético will procrastinate. But in any case, PSG seems to be best equipped financially to convince the former Manchester City striker. A first Parisian offer is planned very soon according to the Spanish press To be continued…
