"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."
"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 recent weeks, people close to the player have hinted that a summer transfer could be possible, immediately attracting interest from several of Europe's elite clubs. The battle for his signature is expected to be intense. Arsenal and Barcelona are both closely monitoring the situation, while PSG hope Enrique's presence could prove decisive."
"Within the club, Alvarez is viewed as the ideal profile: versatile, technically gifted and capable of performing across multiple attacking positions. And, with Luis Enrique personally pushing for the deal, the French champions believe they have a genuine chance of convincing one"
