The Argentinian striker Julian is also on the list of PSG and Arsenal, but he has a contract until 2030 with Atletico and a clause of 500 million euros.

Barcelona offer 100 million euros for Julian Alvarez
As a result, according to the daily Mundo Deportivo, the Spanish champion sent a written offer to Atletico Madrid for Alvarez, valued at 100 million euros.
An amount previously circulated in the press, but with which Atleti does not agree at all. In fact, Madrid do not want to sell Alvarez, and especially to a contender for the title! It also has assets: contract with the player until 2030 and a clause of 500 million euros.
“Barcelona is now waiting for an official response from Madrid, whatever it may be, to know what to do next,” writes the same Mundo Deportivo, on Monday morning.
Luis Campos, PSG director: “It is difficult to improve this team”
The other candidates for the Argentine's services are already retreating. Arsenal did not take any further steps, but the European champions, through the voice of sporting director Luis Campos, had a common sense reaction.
“We know very well the players we want, our goals. We haven't made any moves in the market. All the names floating around are pure speculation. It's a different chapter, but with the same philosophy. We don't need many extra players because it is difficult to improve this team. We will analyze and work on what to do, but we are in no rush. We already have an excellent squad,” Campos commented immediately after the Champions League final win over Arsenal.
Luis Campos' message to Julian Alvarez
Later, hearing that Julian Alvarez was reluctant to say “yes” to PSG, he dotted the “i”: “Anyone who is willing to give everything for this project, for this club, will come to Paris. Anyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful game, with his teammates, to train and meet the coach's demands, to enjoy the lights of the city, the support of the management, much more than the money he could earn.
It's not money that matters more than football, it's football. If you play well, if you have fun, if you fight body and soul for this shirt, the titles will come. And then, of course, there's the money. The culture of merit. If you deserve it, you will be very rich in love and money.”
