Paris Saint-Germain are preparing another huge summer rebuild as Luis Enrique looks to create one of the most dangerous attacks in European football.
The French champions already possess major firepower in forward areas, but Enrique reportedly still wants another elite attacker capable of leading the next phase of the project in Paris.
PSG believe adding another proven goalscorer could help finally deliver long-term Champions League dominance.
Because of that, club chiefs have now intensified work behind the scenes on one of the best attacking talents available in Europe.
Julian Alvarez has enjoyed an outstanding season in Spain and has quickly become one of the most complete forwards on the continent.
He has attracted interest from several elite clubs, including Barcelona, PSG, Arsenal and Chelsea. However, one major obstacle continues to stand in the way of any possible deal.
According to ElDesmarque, Atletico Madrid are demanding a staggering €200 million to sell Julian Alvarez this summer.
Despite the enormous valuation, PSG are reportedly still willing to push forward with plans to sign the Argentine striker.
Luis Enrique reportedly wants Alvarez to become part of a new-look attack alongside Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The 25-year-old produced 20 goals and nine assists in 49 appearances this season. He has become one of Diego Simeone’s most important players.
Atletico reportedly consider Alvarez untouchable. The Los Colchoneros view him as a central figure in the club’s long-term future after signing him from Manchester City.
Barcelona also admire the striker, although reports suggest their financial situation makes a deal extremely difficult.
PSG previously attempted to sign Alvarez before his move to Spain, but the forward eventually chose Atletico after leaving Manchester City.
Now, the French giants are preparing another attempt as they continue reshaping their attack ahead of next season. Any final decision could still take time.
Alvarez is reportedly focused on Argentina’s preparations for the 2026 World Cup before seriously considering his future.
