With the UEFA Champions League final now in the rearview mirror, Paris Saint-Germain’s hierarchy is poised to make a bold move to secure the future of Julian Alvarez. The club is preparing to submit a substantial offer to bring the Argentine striker back to the French capital, as Atlético Madrid reportedly values him at over €100 million.
Two summers ago, Paris Saint-Germain’s pursuit of Julian Alvarez ultimately fell short, as the then 24-year-old opted to join Atlético Madrid instead. The Spanish club outmaneuvered rivals like Manchester City by presenting a bid close to €75 million, sealing Alvarez’s transfer. Now, with the Argentine continuing to shine on Europe’s biggest stage, PSG is determined to revisit the deal.
Paris Saint-Germain ready to make a decisive offer
Despite being turned down in the past, PSG has not abandoned its interest in Alvarez. Sporting director Luis Campos has reignited the pursuit, aiming to bolster Luis Enrique’s attacking options for the upcoming season. Recent reports suggest that PSG’s sporting leadership has engaged with Alvarez’s agent, Fernando Hidalgo, to explore the possibility of a transfer. The timing of these negotiations was carefully considered, with PSG’s Champions League final preparation taking priority to avoid any internal disruptions.
Atlético Madrid sets a steep price for Alvarez
Atlético Madrid has made it clear that any serious offer for Alvarez will need to exceed €100 million. Fresh off back-to-back Champions League triumphs, PSG is now expected to formally approach the Spanish club with a record-breaking bid for the Argentine forward. The question remains: will Julian Alvarez seize this second opportunity to don the PSG jersey?
