Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are seemingly the two leading contenders to sign Julian Alvarez in the summer, and the Champions League final could easily end up determining his next destination.
Andrea Berta’s dream target for Arsenal is Alvarez; however, the Gunners are set to face stiff competition from their Champions League final opponents.
What is the highest fee you would pay to sign Julian Alvarez for Arsenal?
Is he worth more than Declan Rice?👀
Over the last week, PSG seem to have registered their interest in the Argentine international and are set to go head-to-head with the North London club.
The 26-year-old looks destined to leave the Spanish capital, with Paris and London his two most likely destinations at this stage.
PSG now want to sign Julian Alvarez, along with Arsenal
Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona and Premier League clubs are among those keen to sign Julian Alvarez this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Barca appear unlikely to move for the £82m attacker, given the fact that he would cost way too much, but the race is wide open.
Romano told his YouTube channel: “All doors are open for his future. Nothing is closed. Nothing at all. And it’s Julian who is going to decide what he wants to do.
“Paris Saint-Germain already wanted Julian Alvarez before he went to Atletico Madrid, and PSG still love Julian Alvarez for sure.
“There are also Premier League clubs interested in Julian Alvarez, and then there is Barcelona, but Barca knows it is going to be a very expensive and complicated signing.
“So it’s also going to be on the player to take a position very soon about this future, but PSG are interested.

“Premier League top clubs are still following the situation, and then there is this Barcelona dream to go for Julian, but at the moment considered once again very, very expensive and complicated.
“So that’s the situation around Julian. But don’t forget what I told you. All doors are open, and it is the player who has to decide what he wants to do.”
The Champions League final could determine Julian Alvarez’s future
The Champions League final could be the determining factor in Alvarez’s future with PSG and Arsenal fighting it out.
The allure of joining the defending European champions could play a key role in convincing the World Cup winner which club he should join.
PSG look keen to land a proper number nine in the summer, with Ousmane Dembele filling the role over the last two seasons.
Meanwhile, despite getting Viktor Gyokeres, the Gunners want to sign another striker, and Alvarez looks to be their dream target.
