Did you miss Julian Alvarez? No problem, you will be served this Friday with new information regarding the Argentina international. Currently with the Albiceleste, who are giving him special treatment due to a left ankle injury sustained during the Champions League semi-final first leg against Arsenal. The striker had played and aggravated his injury after receiving an injection. Although he received the green light from the Argentine medical staff to train with Lionel Scaloni’s selection, he has not yet resumed. Which causes some concern among the 2022 world champions currently based in their base camp in Kansas City.
Julian Alvarez gets annoyed behind the scenes
But that’s not the only area of concern for the Spider. Its future is still at the center of debate. As a reminder, Arsenal, PSG and Barça, who would have his preference, are following his case. For its part, Atlético de Madrid, which offered him a contract extension, remains solid on its support for the moment. This Friday, El Chiringuito indicates, however, that exchanges have taken place over the last 48 hours between the two Spanish clubs and the Alvarez clan. Despite the deadly tweets from the Colchoneros, the Culés continue to move forward on this thorny issue. At the same time, ESPN Argentina indicates that the 26-year-old center forward is very angry with the Madrilenians.
Indeed, he did not appreciate that no one at the club checked on him or even said goodbye to him before he left for the World Cup. He believes he made great efforts and took risks with his health to help his team, which would show ingratitude. The Alvarez clan is also furious that the Madrilenians are not responding to Barça’s proposal. All this greatly upsets him. Sport confirms and adds that faced with this tense situation, he prefers to remain silent for the moment. The Catalan publication further explains that he wants to sign for Barça. While specifying that he has not closed the door to PSG. But the French club is not in first place in its hierarchy.
Paris has a strategy
Which is in line with the information published in recent days concerning a withdrawal of the European champions. They want to recruit a player who really wants to join them and for whom Paris is a priority. But Sport indicates this Friday that Paris has not said its last word for Julian Alvarez. Thus, we learn that the Ile-de-France residents remain open to discussion for the attacker. They are considering a period of reflection during which they will not negotiate or make any contact in order to see how things evolve and if the player can reconsider his position. The path leading to the Argentinian is clearly not ruled out according to Sport. Especially since PSG knows that Atlético prefers to sell the player to them.
The Colchoneros do not wish to sell the Argentinian to Barça. In the event of a sale, Paris or another club outside La Liga will be preferred. PSG has its chances and is counting on time and patience to attract the Spider into its web. Which is risky with so many clubs in the game. Despite an amount of €150 million requested by the Madrilenians, Paris, which is not prepared to pay that much, intends to include one or two players in the transaction. Kang-In Lee and Gonçalo Ramos are cited. This will all depend on Julian Alvarez. Today, it is in Catalonia that he sees himself playing. But he doesn’t say no to PSG. Arsenal, who are also in the mix, are not mentioned. The transfer window is still long and everything can change. Especially since PSG has arguments and is not panicking, aware that it always has a chance to play. The ball is for the moment in the court of the attacker and the Colchoneros.
