PSG has not filled the void left by the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid. Luis Enrique seemed to have a crush on Julian Alvarez, but the Argentinian ended up imitating Mbappé by joining Madrid, but signing for Atletico. And this, despite a good salary offer made by Paris Saint-Germain.
Several scorers were announced in the sights of the PSG during the last summer transfer window as part of the succession of Kylian Mbappé. However, Luis Enrique never really gave his endorsement for anyone. And especially Victor Osimhen. Le10sport.com revealed to you in July that there was no discussion between the PSG and the clan Osimhen or the Napoli.
“For the Argentines who were already here, to know the language, to be a country a little closer to Argentina than to France or England”
And it wasn't a rash decision. Luis Enrique just didn't want to Victor Osimhen as Samir Nasri revealed it on the set of Canal+ in recent weeks. The striker favored by the coach of PSGdue to his profile and his style of play, was none other than Julian Alvarez according to the press. And although the Paris Saint–Germain seemed to have gone so far as to offer a salary of €10 million per year to the 23-year-old Argentine world champion, he assured in an interview for Mark that his decision had been based on a question of acclimatization which would be simpler in Spain than in France.
“Well, the decision was made somewhat because of what I said. I felt through what they told me that they gave me this space, this affection. I also saw the enthusiasm of the people, they made me feel that they loved me very much. And then, for the Argentinians who were already here, to know the language, to be a country a little closer to Argentina than to France or England? They’re small things, but they add up when you have to make a decision.”
Julian Alvarez is cash on the price of his transfer!
During the interview with Mark, Julian Alvarez also raised an important point in his eyes. The fact that he is the third most expensive recruit in the history of theAtletico Madrid and the most expensive sale in the history of Manchester City is of no importance to him.
“Well, it's a little more what we talk about in the media or what people say than what's happening to me. I always try to give my best on the pitch, to play football, what I love, to help the team and nothing more. I'm just trying to have fun, help, get better every day. After that, no matter what they say, if they paid 70 or whatever, those are things I have no right to do or try to help.”
