With the summer transfer window just around the corner, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is gearing up for an eventful campaign. The club is widely expected to pursue several high-profile signings, including Argentina’s prolific striker Julian Alvarez, currently plying his trade at Atlético Madrid. However, fresh insights from renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano suggest a major setback for the Ligue 1 giants.
Transfer saga takes a dramatic turn
PSG’s ambitions to bolster their attacking lineup have been well-documented, but their pursuit of Alvarez may hit a wall. According to Romano, the Argentine striker is poised to snub PSG in favor of a lucrative move to La Liga champions FC Barcelona. The Spanish club is reportedly preparing a formal bid worth approximately €100 million, excluding player exchanges, with potential performance-based bonuses attached.
Alvarez’s future locked in at Camp Nou
Romano’s sources indicate that Alvarez’s intentions are crystal clear. The 26-year-old has made no secret of his desire to leave Atlético Madrid, where he has refused to renew his contract. His next destination appears to be Barcelona, as he has reportedly communicated his decision directly to his current club. With the offer expected to arrive before the World Cup kickoff, PSG’s hopes of securing Alvarez’s services are fading fast.
