The Julián Álvarez saga is heating up again, fueled by Paris Saint-Germain’s renewed interest and Luis Enrique’s insistence on bringing the Argentine to Paris. But in Madrid, the message could not be clearer: Atlético refuses to negotiate. Their star forward is not for sale — end of story.
Asked about the growing rumors linking Álvarez to PSG, Atlético Madrid president Enrique Cerezo shut everything down instantly. “Julián Álvarez is an Atlético player and will remain an Atlético player. There is no doubt,” he told El Chiringuito.
A direct message to PSG, Barcelona and Premier League clubs: Hands off — the Colchoneros are keeping their striker.
A 120M€ Wall to Block PSG
To cool Paris’ ambitions, Atlético has set a massive price tag: €120 million. PSG considers the amount “completely unreasonable”, but for Atlético, it’s a strategic shield. The club isn’t open to negotiations and wants to ensure Álvarez stays where he is. From the Spanish side, a player of Álvarez’s profile — young, complete, tireless, and tactically perfect for elite football — simply cannot leave unless a club triggers a gigantic payout.
A Player Open to PSG… But Atlético Holds the Power
Despite everything, Julián Álvarez is reportedly “totally open” to joining PSG and sees the move as a natural next step in his career. But Atlético has other plans:
- He is under contract.
- He is central to their project.
- They want to build the attack around him.
Álvarez has already ruled out a Premier League return, which helps Atlético in its battle against English competition. But PSG — and Luis Enrique — won’t give up easily.
The Battle Is On… But Atlético Controls the Outcome
The Parisians have reactivated the file with real intent, yet Atlético Madrid stands firm, backed by an unwavering president and a prohibitive release figure.
For now: The door is closed. Bolt included. But in football, especially during the mercato… nothing stays locked forever.
