PSG’s initial approach for Julian Alvarez
Information has emerged indicating that two clubs sought to enter discussions for Julian Alvarez, hoping that the perceived impasse between Atlético Madrid and Barcelona could open up new possibilities. Paris Saint-Germain was one of these, having already engaged with Atlético Madrid concerning two players, Kang-In Lee and Gonçalo Ramos, both of whom are expected to depart this summer. PSG made an attempt, but Julian Alvarez clearly expressed his desire to join Barcelona.
PSG’s interest wanes
