Julián Álvarez is close to becoming a new Atlético de Madrid player, according to some Argentine and Spanish media.
The information states that, prior to the day in which the Argentine national team will face its French counterpart for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the forward whose pass belongs to Manchester City would have made the decision to join the squad led by Diego Simeone.
The key to the decision of the “Spider” was precisely the role played by Diego Simeone, who seduced the striker. The presence of “Cholo”, a man always involved in the management of reinforcements and the power of persuasion towards the striker from Calchín, played a preponderant role in making him a “Colchonero”.
There was already a verbal agreement to join at the end of the Olympic Games. One of the teams that was competing for the services of one of the figures in the team that won the World Cup in Qatar 2022 was Paris Saint-Germain. Once the decision was made about his future, he informed the French team and thanked them for their interest.
It should be remembered that according to The Athletic and other Spanish media such as Relevo and Sport, the value of “La Araña” is 70 million euros, plus another 20 million in variables that will depend on the games played and the performance of the Cordovan in that eventual new team.
In this regard, English sports portals had published during the last week that the goalscorer “wants to leave the city team this summer, although it will not be easy for him to leave due to the price that the British club is demanding to give the green light to his transfer.”
