Luis Enrique aiming to convince Barcelona top target to join PSG – report

It is no secret at this point that FC Barcelona will enter the market for a new centre-forward, with Robert Lewandowski expected to depart.

Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid, to that end, has emerged as the absolute priority for the Blaugrana, with president-elect Joan Laporta also seeing the Argentine as the main target for the summer.

However, obstacles are expected in their pursuit of the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner, not only with Atletico Madrid’s reluctance to sell, but also the growing interest from other giants of Europe, including PSG.

Luis Enrique aims to lure Alvarez to PSG

Indeed, according to Andres Onrubia of AS, Alvarez is now emerging as a priority target for reigning European champions PSG.

The Argentine striker is highly appreciated within the PSG hierarchy, but above all by Luis Enrique himself. The Spanish manager has given his full approval to a move and remains a huge admirer of the World Cup winner.

In fact, Lucho already attempted to convince Alvarez to join the Parisian club back in 2024, before the forward eventually chose Atletico Madrid instead.
