On Saturday, more information surfaced regarding Paris Saint-Germain’s interest in Manchester City forward Julian Álvarez. While Arsenal and Chelsea are also linked to the Argentine, the Parisians are prepared to outspend all challengers for the player, including Atlético Madrid.
Álvarez might be considering a summer departure from Pep Guardiola’s team to secure a more prominent role elsewhere. During the 2023-24 season, the 24-year-old played in 54 matches for Manchester City, scoring 19 goals and providing 13 assists.
TyC Sports’ Germán García Grova recently reported that PSG has officially made an offer for Álvarez. However, Atlético de Madrid has made him their top priority and is currently leading the race to sign the Argentine with Álvarez open to the idea of playing in Spain.
Still, the latest information from TyC Sports’ Gastón Edul reveals that PSG have submitted an offer to Manchester City for Álvarez. Their bid is notably higher than Atletico Madrid’s offer for both the club and the player.
Despite this, Atletico Madrid still holds a slight advantage due to their location. It seems very likely that Álvarez will leave Manchester City this summer.
