With the UEFA Champions League final now behind them, Paris Saint-Germain’s hierarchy is gearing up to make a bold move for Argentine striker Julian Alvarez. Insiders report that the club is preparing to submit a substantial offer to secure the 26-year-old from Atlético Madrid, who are reportedly holding out for over €100 million.

PSG’s interest in Alvarez is nothing new. Last summer, the club made a determined push to sign the World Cup-winning forward, only for Atlético Madrid to outbid them with a bid close to €75 million. Now, with Alvarez having spent a season at the Wanda Metropolitano, the Parisians are ready to go even higher to land their man.

Luis Campos, PSG’s sporting director, has reignited the pursuit, aiming to reunite Alvarez with Luis Enrique ahead of the next campaign. Recent reports suggest that Campos recently met with Fernando Hidalgo, Alvarez’s agent, to open formal negotiations. While PSG’s Champions League final preparations took priority, the club is now poised to act swiftly once the transfer window reopens.

Atlético Madrid sets firm price for Alvarez

Atlético Madrid has made it clear that any deal for Alvarez will require a bid far exceeding the €100 million mark. The Spanish side has been patient, knowing that PSG’s recent Champions League final appearance could soften their stance. Alvarez, who has been a key figure for Argentina in recent years, now faces a decisive moment in his career as the French capital club intensifies its pursuit.

The question remains: will Alvarez, fresh off another Champions League triumph, choose to make the switch to Paris this time? With PSG’s financial backing and ambition, the stage is set for one of the summer’s biggest transfer sagas.
