Julian Alvarez at PSG, why it will be complicated

Eager to strengthen its offensive sector, PSG would have considered the recruitment of Julian Alvarez, but the matter is not simple.

It’s one of the names that comes up the most as soon as the summer transfer window is talked about. Apparently inclined to leave Atlético de Madrid, Julian Alvarez is the dream of several big teams. In Spain, FC Barcelona is on the lookout and wants to do everything to attract him. In France, it is PSG which is interested in the matter. But a move to Ligue 1 should not be possible. And not for a sporting reason.

Former Paris Saint-Germain player, Eric Rabesandratana told a little anecdote this Monday. The columnist for the L’Équipe channel explained that he had spoken with a compatriot of Julian Alvarez, incidentally a former head of PSG’s QSI version. “I spoke with Javier Pastore about
(Julian) Alvarez, precisely to understand why he does not want to come to Paris. »

And the former defender also passed through Nancy to continue.
“In fact, he explained to me that it wasn’t really him who didn’t want to come. His family does not want to leave Spain. Behind it is the whole organization. That’s why he keeps saying he wants to go to Barça, because he wants to stay in Spain. As a result, this seriously compromises his arrival in Paris. »

PSG multiplies the avenues

The Parisian club understood that it would be complicated to recruit the former Chelsea man and has other avenues up his sleeve. The one leading to Éli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth) for example, or even that of Yan Diomande on the side of RB Leipzig.

As for the Parisian starters, Gonçalo Ramos could choose to find more playing time elsewhere. Same thing for Kang-in Lee who played much less during the second part of the season. The Parisian summer transfer window should be lively. In any case more than last year.
