Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly keen on signing 24-year-old Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez this summer.
Julian Alvarez has been linked with a move away from Manchester City, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. According to reputed Italian journalist Santi Aouna, the Argentine striker is valued at €70-80 million, and PSG have already offered him a lucrative contract.
It remains to be seen whether Les Parisiens can secure an agreement with Manchester City for the 24-year-old striker. However, recent reports have claimed that he prefers a move to La Liga instead of Ligue 1 if he leaves Manchester City.
Julian Alvarez lost his spot as a regular starter for Manchester City towards the end of last season, and he is reportedly open to a summer departure. If there is an interesting opportunity ahead of him, a move might materialise. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and PSG will be able to provide him with that platform.
The French outfit need to bring in quality attackers after the departure of Kylian Mbappe, and the 2024 Copa America winner would be a solid long-term addition for them. Alvarez has already won most major trophies at club and international level. He will be looking to play regularly and fulfil his world class potential.
Alvarez would improve PSG
A move to PSG will be an exciting opportunity for him. Les Parisiens are one of the biggest club in Europe, and they could provide him with the platform to push for major trophies every season. In addition, he would get to start for them regularly as well.
The striker is versatile enough to operate in the wide areas as well. He will add goals and creativity to the side. Julian Alvarez scored 19 goals in all competitions last season, and he picked up 13 assists along the way as well.
The player has been linked with clubs like Atletico Madrid, and Arsenal as well. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. A player of his quality is good enough to play at the highest level, and he could transform most teams around Europe.
The reported €70-80 million asking price seems reasonable for a player of his potential in today’s market. Alvarez could certainly justify the investment in the coming seasons. It will be interesting to see if PSG are willing to break the bank for him. The Ligue 1 outfit are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done.
