Atletico have Alvarez's approval but PSG are offering more

'TyC Sports' journalist Gaston Edul dampened the euphoria among the 'Colchoneros' on Saturday. A day earlier 'DirecTV' had almost given the arrival of Julian Alvarez as a done deal, but it seems there are still risks that hinder the operation. Especially the presence of Paris Saint-Germain and its economic aspect.

According to the aforementioned professional, Atletico Madrid would have offered 60 million euros to Manchester City to sign the striker. This figure would be around 10 million below what they want at the Etihad in terms of a fixed amount, while it would be around 20 million in variables to meet their demands.

So far Metropolitano's side has not received an answer, but they already know that their bid is not the highest as PSG are also interested. The French have reportedly beaten Atletico's offer for both the Manchester club and the player, who, despite the higher salary, has opted for Cholo Simeone.

The source also said that, for the moment, there are no other teams in the running. Chelsea were mentioned, but the Blues are not in the race for the striker. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Argentinian's future will not be with the Sky Blues, with whom he played 54 official games for Pep Guardiola's side last year (19 goals and 13 assists), but in the Spanish capital or in France.
