Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has decided to make a formal proposal to Atlético de Madrid to secure the signing of Julián Álvarez, a 26-year-old forward, during the January transfer window.

At the explicit request of coach Luis Enrique, president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has given the green light to finance the arrival of the Argentine international, seeking to outpace the interest shown by FC Barcelona and reinforce the attacking line of the Parisian club midway through the season.

Luis Enrique's Reasons for Demanding Julián Álvarez's Arrival

The Asturian coach requested the addition of the forward for his versatility to act as a center-forward, move to the wings, and press the opponent's ball output. Álvarez, signed by Atlético de Madrid in the summer of 2024 from Manchester City for €75 million fixed plus €20 million in variables, fits into the rotation scheme that PSG's technical staff applies in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League.

The French technical management's intention is to present an offer high enough to convince the Atleti board to transfer their offensive reference in the winter window. Additionally, the move aims to neutralize any future attempts by FC Barcelona, a club that has the forward's name on its long-term watchlist.

Atlético de Madrid's Financial Demands for Julián

The departure of the Argentine from Atlético de Madrid's squad will require a significant financial outlay surpassing the outstanding amortization amounts of the Madrid club, whose contractual bond with the player ends in June 2030. The Parisian leadership is willing to undertake the financial operation to make the player one of the project's references.

Meanwhile, the French club's offensive would close the door for FC Barcelona to acquire the forward in 2027, forcing the Catalan sports management to activate alternatives in the market such as Junior Kroupi or Benjamin Šeško.

Paris Saint-Germain executives will make initial contact with the Argentine forward's representatives in November 2026. The PSG board will send the official proposal to Atlético de Madrid during the last week of December to try to finalize the transfer in the early days of January 2027.
