Julian Alvarez, the 26-year-old Argentinian striker for Atletico Madrid (under contract until 2030), was linked with Paris Saint-Germain during the summer of 2024 when he left Manchester City. But the idea of a transfer to Paris has resurfaced regularly, especially in recent days. Argentine journalist Gaston Edul confirmed this on Monday.
In Argentina, it’s confirmed: PSG has set its sights on Julian Alvarez and is ready to do anything to sign him. Luis Enrique wants this player.

The rumor makes sense, since Julian Alvarez’s profile seems to be a perfect match: versatility, determination, and the ability to be decisive…while PSG has Gonçalo Ramos (24 years old) who hasn’t quite managed to convince. However, it’s a bit too flimsy at the moment.
It shouldn’t be forgotten that Atletico isn’t particularly keen to sell and that the player isn’t especially looking to leave right now. Even if it’s a possibility. He would probably have other options, and there’s no guarantee he would succeed, especially since he risks facing immense competition. Competition that was avoided by leaving Manchester City.
Paris may well have other priorities; we must remain cautious about rumors. For the moment, the Alvarez option seems more like a cheap publicity stunt for the media.
