Second European giant ‘will attempt’ to sign Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez

Second European giant ‘will attempt’ to sign Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez

Atletico Madrid fans could be in for a long summer, and not exclusively due to Sporting Director Mateu Alemany’s plans. The constant speculation that has been surrounding star forward Julian Alvarez continues, and is showing no signs of letting up.

That has primarily centred around Barcelona, who have made little secret of their interest in signing Alvarez as their preferred replacement for Robert Lewandowski. The latest on their desire to do so is that they expect Alvarez to manifest a desire to leave, before making a definitive move themselves.

Paris Saint-Germain will attempt Alvarez signing

Two other names have frequently come up in conjunction with Alvarez, those being Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. As per Gaston Edul, PSG will make an attempt to sign Alvarez this summer. It is explained that their interest in the Argentina international is long-standing, and they tried to sign him when he was leaving Manchester City. They intend to sound out the possibility of a deal, and will make a move this summer if they see it as feasible.
