The summer transfer window is now open, and one of the biggest talking points is whether Julian Alvarez will leave Atletico Madrid. The 26-year-old Argentine international is attracting strong interest from Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona, all eager to add him to their squads. While his personal preferences are clear, his move may depend on him speaking out publicly.
As the market reopens, the situation contrasts with Real Madrid, who have already sealed deals for Marc Cucurella and Bernardo Silva. Barcelona, on the other hand, has so far only brought in Anthony Gordon before he heads to the United States for the World Cup with England. However, the club’s board is preparing for a prolonged negotiation that could stretch until the transfer deadline on September 1.
PSG and Arsenal snubbed by Julian Alvarez?
Julian Alvarez is the hottest name of the summer. Barcelona, Arsenal, and PSG are all reportedly keen on the World Cup winner. Real Madrid angered Atletico Madrid by making a €150 million approach for their city rival, a move backed by president Florentino Pérez’s re-election campaign. Paris Saint-Germain is especially interested in signing Alvarez, but he appears to favor Barcelona over PSG and Arsenal. It is understood that the Argentine striker prioritizes a move to Camp Nou.
Barcelona asks Julian Alvarez to pressure Atletico with a public exit demand
Julian Alvarez’s plan is to resist the advances from the French and English champions while Barcelona works behind the scenes to finalize his signing. However, given Atletico Madrid’s firm public and private stance against selling their star, Barcelona knows that without a public statement from Alvarez, any deal seems impossible. The big question is whether the Argentine will take that risky step. If the transfer falls through, he could find himself in a difficult position at the Metropolitano.
