The Paris Saint-Germain are already planning their summer transfer business as they prepare for the Champions League final against Arsenal. With the clash in Budapest just hours away, Les Parisiens have set their sights on a new attacking recruit: Argentinian forward Julian Alvarez.
The Ligue 1 giants are closely monitoring Alvarez’s situation at Atlético Madrid, with the 23-year-old expected to leave the Spanish club this summer. However, FC Barcelona is poised to make the first formal offer, potentially derailing PSG’s plans.
Barcelona set to table €100m bid before World Cup kickoff
“Barcelona has met with Julian Alvarez’s agent and is finalizing an offer to submit in the coming days,” revealed sports journalist Fabrizio Romano in a recent video update. “The first official bid will not be made today, but discussions are underway on how to proceed. The offer, valued at around €100 million, may include performance bonuses but will not involve any player exchanges.”
Could PSG lose out on Alvarez to archrivals?
Whether Atlético Madrid accepts Barcelona’s proposal remains uncertain. Recent reports from Spanish media suggested the Colchoneros were seeking a higher valuation than what Barcelona is preparing to offer. The PSG hierarchy may still counter with a more attractive package of their own in the near future. Meanwhile, the Parisian club has been exploring alternative offensive reinforcements to bolster their squad for next season. This transfer saga remains far from over.
