Looking for an attacking player during this summer transfer window, PSG appreciates the profile of Julian Alvarez. But the capital club is not the only one courting the Manchester City center forward.
The departure of Kylian Mbappé will logically force Paris Saint-Germain to recruit at least one international caliber player in the offensive sector. The idea is to sign a player compatible with Dembélé, Barcola or Gonçalo Ramos. Wingers are targeted by Luis Enrique, like for example Khvicha Kvaratskhelia but Paris SG could also quickly position itself on a center forward. Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos have not really won hearts during this first season at PSG, which is why the capital club is keeping an eye on the situation of Julian Alvarez.
In competition with Erling Haaland at Manchester City, the Argentinian international is attracting a lot of interest during this transfer window. And as proof, the reigning French champion is not the only one looking into his situation since according to information from the Spanish media El Grafico, FC Barcelona is also in the running. The Catalan club has just received some good news on the financial front, with the sale of part of its commercial rights, which will give it a breath of fresh air and the possibility of recruiting this summer. The Spanish vice-champion wants to secure the services of a reliable player in the attacking sector to support Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal.
Barça ready to spend 90 ME for Alvarez?
This is how Julian Alvarez is a main target in the eyes of sporting director Deco, validated by new coach Hansi Flick. The question now is whether Barça will be able to compete with PSG financially while according to the Spanish media, Julian Alvarez has a release clause in his Manchester City contract estimated at 90 million euros. A priori, there is no question for the reigning English champion to revise this price downwards and if a club wants to recruit the 2022 world champion, then it will be necessary to align with the sum of the release clause. Not a problem for Paris Saint-Germain, but much more problematic for Barça, even if it is rumored in Spain that the Catalan club could go crazy by dropping the 90 million euros demanded by Manchester City to afford the coveted Julian Alvarez.
