PSG keen on signing out-of-favour Manchester City attacker

According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain is in negotiations to recruit Manchester City's Julian Alvarez to replace Kylian Mbappe. At first, PSG gave priority to replacing the French front with Victor Osimhen, a prolific striker for Napoli. But because the talks have stagnated, PSG is looking for other solutions. And according to Caught Offside, City's Julian Alvarez is now recognized as a prominent contender among the possible targets.

Pep Guardiola is determined to keep Alvarez, even in the face of interest from PSG. The attacking player has been a vital member of City's team, greatly enhancing their performance in both local and European leagues. According to the report, Alvarez's agents have been notified by City that they will not entertain any offers for their client during this present transfer window.

Alvarez is happy at City, but Erling Haaland serves as the starter of choice up forward, therefore he is frequently benched. Therefore, the possibility of more game time and a big deal might persuade him to think about making a move. PSG is anticipated to present a strong offer, highlighting Alvarez's ability to play a key role in their offense, which may persuade the Argentine to think about moving to Paris.

PSG's interest shows how eager they are to find Mbappe a replacement, and Guardiola's insistence on holding onto Alvarez is a reflection of City's reliance on the gifted forward. Alvarez is keeping his attention on his responsibilities to Argentina at the Copa America 2024 across the United States despite the ongoing tug-of-war in Europe.

Julian Alvarez wants to move away from Manchester City

It is now said that the former River Plate star informed the team that he wanted to go. Reports claim that at the conclusion of the last campaign, the Argentine forward turned down a new deal with the team. In that agreement, he would have agreed to new and better terms along with an extension of one year from his current contract, bringing his total time under contract to 2028.

Alvarez completed the season with his previous club in Argentina before joining the team in January 2022. He won the South American Player of the Year title in 2021 while he was there. In 103 appearances throughout his two seasons with Man City, he has added 18 assists and 36 goals.
