Atletico Madrid are considering selling Julian Alvarez in the summer transfer window, according to Fichajes. Barcelona, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are keen on a deal for the Argentina international striker.

The report has stated: ‘Atletico de Madrid are working on a plan marked by economic prudence. 

‘The club wants to strengthen, but does not expect a summer of uncontrolled spending. 

‘Mateu Alemany has several fronts open and knows that the squad needs significant adjustments. 

‘The midfield, defence, and attack are under review.

‘In this scenario, Julian Alvarez emerges as the big name.

‘No other rojiblanco player arouses as much interest in the current European market. 

‘The Argentine has a release clause of 500 million euros, a number that protects the club. But one thing is the clause and another is the strategy.

‘Atletico de Madrid retain total control of the negotiation. However, some executives see an opportunity if a truly high offer arrives. 

‘The idea would be simple: turn a big sale into several signings. A painful move in sporting terms but tempting from a financial perspective.’
