On Wednesday, Marca reported Atlético Madrid continue to dream of signing Manchester City’s Julián Álvarez this summer.
At the weekend, Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna said Paris Saint-Germain have made contact to sign the striker.
The Argentina international is on a break after his involvement at the Copa América and Olympics this summer.
Pep Guardiola recently stated he’s waiting for him to return to the Etihad, but there was some doubt over the player’s future. His comments are relayed by Monday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo, who then share their own information on this case.
It’s claimed this is the ‘decisive week’ for Álvarez’s future as his agent, Fernando Hidalgo, will travel to Europe to hold talks with Manchester City. Should there be a transfer, Mundo say the Premier League winners won’t let him leave for less than €70m.
Online, Mundo Deportivo ask whether Guardiola’s words alone would be enough to convince the player to continue at Manchester City. Álvarez is behind Erling Haaland, and therefore, is ‘firmly willing to leave’.
If the English champions can’t reverse the player’s decision, they won’t make it easy for him to leave, and request €70m to sanction a move.
Mundo claim PSG could offer €60m for the South American, and with that, they can get ahead of Atlético to sign him.
There should be clarity over Álvarez’s future after his agent’s meeting with Manchester City this week.
