Atletico Madrid prefers selling Alvarez to PSG over Barcelona

Atletico Madrid is focused on transferring Julian Alvarez to Paris Saint-Germain rather than FC Barcelona, according to reports from Catalan media. The player's potential move is currently on hold until after he concludes his World Cup commitments with Argentina. Barcelona is interested in Alvarez as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is set to leave at the end of June. Although Alvarez reportedly agrees to join Barcelona on a five-year deal, Atletico Madrid's asking price is a significant obstacle. President Enrique Cerezo emphasized Alvarez's current status with the club, while PSG may look to negotiate a lower price through player swaps.
