Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique could play a key role in snatching Julian Alvarez armory in this summer.
AS reports that the Spanish coach He could play a role in denying Arsenal the big transfer they want from Atletico Madrid.
PSG denies Arsenal
The newspaper states that PSG will not accelerate any transfer moves until their season is over. Since the Champions League final is still to be played, his focus is on the pitch.
However, the first names to strengthen the team are already on the list. And Julian Álvarez is one who could be one of the main protagonists of the summer market. The Argentinian striker is a target for PSG.
In fact, that is a 'specific request' from Luis Enrique, who has always been a fan of the striker. They tried to sign him for PSG two years ago. Álvarez refused this and moved to Atlético Madrid instead.
Now sources close to the 26-year-old are reporting that a summer transfer is possible. This has aroused great interest from European clubs.
Arsenal and Barcelona have also expressed interest in acquiring his services. But the presence of Luis Enrique in the fight could tip the scales in favor of PSG.
The Spaniard's playing style and the excellent work he has done in Paris are factors that could 'overwhelm' for the striker. PSG see him as the ideal player, especially if Goncalo Ramos goes as expected.
Arsenal need to move forward now
Thus, Arsenal may need to make a move. For months now reports have been linking them with a possible move for the Argentina star.
But with Enrique's backing, PSG may be hard to beat ahead of his signing. The French giants can easily outperform Arsenal when it comes to financial matters.
Perhaps a big performance and Arsenal's victory in the Champions League final could help the Gunners swing the argument in their favor.
