Julian Alvarez, the 26-year-old Argentine forward for Atlético Madrid (under contract until 2030), is being linked with a move during this transfer window and is reportedly on the radar of major European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain. Journalist Fabrizio Romano provided an update on Tuesday, noting that the player has confirmed his desire to leave; however, a transfer to PSG remains unlikely.
“| PSG expressed interested in signing Julian Alvarez earlier on in the transfer window, but the Argentine striker informed the management of his decision to prioritise a move to Barcelona F.C. The Club are NOT expected to make a new approach to sign the player in the coming weeks, as things between the two parties have “cooled-off” due to the player’s decision. Fabrizio Romano.”
Barça has long been considered the favorite in this pursuit, as the player reportedly prefers them—a crucial factor. This is enough to cool PSG’s interest, as the club only wants players who genuinely want to join. There is no intention of relying on financial incentives if the sporting desire isn’t clear-cut.
It is worth noting that Alvarez’s preference is not official, unlike his desire to leave Atlético Madrid; a surprise remains possible. However, the prevailing sense is that other deals are more likely to materialize for PSG.
