In search of a number 9 after the departure of Kylian Mbappé this summer, PSG must now deal with headwinds. While several exciting names have been circulating behind the scenes since May, such as Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting Portugal), Victor Osimhen (Naples) and Julian Alvarez (Manchester City), the capital club has so far had to come up against the demands of its counterparts, often greedy, and determined to give up their players at prohibitive prices.
Recently, it was rumored that Naples would not release their striker for less than 180 million euros, while Sporting Portugal would expect, for their part, to release their Swede, Viktor Gyökeres, for a sum exceeding 100 million euros. Exorbitant prices, but that PSG would be able to pay after having significantly reduced its payroll this summer, following the departure of Kylian Mbappé. For Julian Alvarez (24 years old), eager for a change of scenery and to take on a more important role, the British press mentioned in recent days a possible transfer for 80 M€. It remains to be seen to which destination…
Atletico wants to pull off the big Alvarez coup
According to TyC Sportsthe landing point in question could be in the Spanish capital, not on the Real Madrid side where Kylian Mbappé recently put down his suitcases, but rather at the neighbor of Atlético. With the departure already confirmed of Alvaro Morata, whose future will be written on the side of AC Milan in the coming days, the Madrid club has identified the number 9 position as its main project. Especially since the departure of Memphis Depay had also been made official in recent weeks.
According to the Argentine press, Atlético has already proposed a loan with obligation to buy, although Manchester City would opt more for a dry transfer. TyC Sportsthe operation could be concluded around 70 million euros, knowing that the Colchoneros should recover cash on a possible transfer of Joao Félix, whose future remains uncertain in the Spanish capital. Under contract until 2028, the Argentinian striker, who is coming off his second season in England (36 Premier League matches, 11 goals and 9 assists), would also find some Argentinian world champions in Madrid, namely Nahuel Molina, Angel Correa, Rodrigo De Paul. It remains to be seen how far Atlético will be prepared to go… and Paris.
