"PSG boss Luis Enrique is a known admirer of the Argentinian World Cup winner and attempted to take him to the Parc des Princes two years ago but Alvarez opted to join Atletico from Manchester City for £82million instead. Alvarez has continued to shine at the Metropolitano. He scored 29 goals in 57 appearances in his first year in Spain and has added 20 in 49 games this season despite a wobble around the turn of the year."
"Alvarez has long being linked with Barcelona, as they look to replace the ageing Robert Lewandowski, while Arsenal are also believed to be monitoring the player's situation. Atletico are believed to be willing to sell but only for a fee north of £100m. PSG target Alvarez insists he is happy at Atletico."
"Speaking before the first leg of Atleti's Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, he said: "I try not to give too much importance to what they say, because the truth is that every week new things come out, all kinds of new information. "I try not to waste energy on that and to focus on what we're doing here at Atleti. I try not to give too much importance to what's said in the media, because it often starts becoming a snowball of lies. I can't keep going out to clarify or deny everything that comes out all the time.""
"Federico Hidalgo, Alvarez's agent, was also forced to rubbish claims Alvarez's family had been spending time in Catalonia sizing up houses. "No-one in the family has been in Barcelona. The last time was for the match against Atléti""
