Manchester City striker Julian Álvarez could be on the move this summer, as the player is linked to La Liga’s Atletico Madrid and is a top priority for the Spanish side. One expert believes that Paris Saint-Germain should be in the mix, with the Argentine possibly being available.
Álvarez likely aims to secure the starting position as the No. 9 rather than settling for being merely a luxury substitute or rotational starter. Consequently, rumors have emerged linking him to Atletico Madrid. However, his salary might pose a challenge in terms of bringing him to the Wanda Metropolitano.
On Wednesday, transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano reported that PSG are showing a lot of interest in Julián Álvarez. The club has inquired about him, indicating their strong interest from the Parisians.
Álvarez, on his part, is seeking more playing time. He could be one of the unexpected moves in the upcoming summer transfer window. Moreover, Romano notes that several other clubs are starting to show interest as well.
Manchester City isn’t looking into a loan deal at the moment, and it won’t be a cheap transfer either as Manchester City are still hopeful about keeping him.

Moreover, FOX Sports Argentina’s Veronica Brunati reports that Manchester City are asking for €80 million if Álvarez decides to move on, but so far, no clubs have made any official offers. Atlético Madrid, Manchester United, and Chelsea are unable to meet the €80 million price tag.
However, there’s one club that stands out as capable of paying such a fee and is currently in the market for a striker: PSG.
