With the 2024 Copa América wrapped up, Manchester City striker Julian Álvarez is in the spotlight, especially with recent rumors linking him to Paris Saint-Germain.
During the 2023-24 season, the 24-year-old featured in 54 matches for Manchester City, scoring 19 goals and providing 13 assists. His impressive stats highlight his eagerness for a consistent place in the starting lineup.
CBS Sports reporter Jonathan Johnson notes that if the capital club pushes to land Álvarez, the Argentine could work out as a cheaper alternative to Victor Osimhen for PSG.
Moreover, Johnson states that if the Parisians were to pursue the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner, he would need to force a move out to leave Manchester City. The Osimhen links gain strength, but Álvarez is one to keep an eye on in case PSG are priced out for the Napoli standout.

Nonetheless, PSG does face tough competition if they do pursue the Manchester City goal scorer. This week, TyC Sports’ César Luis Merlo has reported that Atlético Madrid has begun negotiations with the Argentine national team forward.
