The future of Julián Álvarez is unclear. As the days go by, the media noise surrounding him is becoming increasingly deafening. All the actors involved in this soap opera are only generating more confusion. On the eve of the World Cup, one of Argentina's biggest stars still doesn't know where he'll play next season. For now, in the face of such an avalanche of rumors and external opinions, Julián Álvarez has chosen to remain silent. It is true that in the final stretch of the championship, in a subtle and delicate way, he limited himself to fueling the flirtation regarding his possible departure. Everything was open and with a clear vocation to reach an amicable agreement between all parties: Julián left, chose a team, and Atlético Madrid entered a substantial transfer fee. Too beautiful to be reality. The PSG, once the Champions League final was settled, would try to reopen negotiations with Atlético Madrid and Julián Álvarez to try to reorient a signing that in the initial surveys had not taken off well. Or at least, not all the pieces had fit. Atlético Madrid and PSG are in sync in the background of the operation. Julián wants to leave and the red-and-white club wouldn't mind if he went to Paris. The only snag is that the transfer fee demanded upfront is around €150 million. A figure that the PSG considers abusive, although the negotiating process could also reduce it and consider the inclusion of a player to shape the final figures. However, in this small equation, the third piece was missing, and the most important one at the end of the day: Julián Álvarez. The Argentine international has already informed through his agent that PSG is not his priority target, at least by early June. His desire points to the Camp Nou. It's not a categorical rejection of Luis Enrique's team, but it does mark a priority order in these moments. The recalcitrance hasn't pleased in Paris. Just after the Champions League final, the club's sports director, Luis Campos, stated that PSG would only strengthen this summer with players who really wanted to take a step forward to sign with the Champions League champion. Those who maintained doubts, didn't enter their plans. Many interpreted it as a message aimed directly at Julián and his agent. The coldness of Julián Álvarez in calibrating his PSG signing would suggest that the Argentine is walking firmly towards his desire to wear blue and red next season. A priori, everything should be easy, but it's not that simple. In this case, once again, the third actor is missing, which is none other than the selling club, Atlético Madrid. Given the club's display on social media attacking Barça and its 'presumed maneuvers' to approach the player and show the negotiation in public, it's clear that no one is willing to transfer Julián to the Spotify Camp Nou. Amidst all the hostility and animosity, it seems that the start of the World Cup may mark a turning point.
