Atletico Madrid are fourth in La Liga this season and despite being in a comfortable position to progress from the competitive stages of the Champions League, they are far from the favorites to win the competition.
Diego Simeone’s side have been underperforming for a number of years, with their last major title coming in 2021. As a result, questions have been raised about how much time a Julian Alvarez player is willing to spend at the club.
Chelsea are now considering a summer move for him. according to The Daily Mailand face competition from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain for the Argentina international, who is thought to be considering his future.
The 25-year-old is believed to be open to a return to the Premier League, where he previously played for Manchester City, giving Chelsea confidence they can beat the competition for his services.
Alvarez promises to be a top signing
Julian Alvarez has stood out at Atletico Madrid, not least this season, with 11 goals and five assists in all competitions. He has everything it takes to be an excellent asset for Chelsea, which can guarantee him an attractive sporting project and match his price tag.
Barcelona remain very interested in him, but Atletico Madrid will prefer to sell Alvarez abroad if he wants to leave the club. But Paris Saint-Germain, thanks to their financial strength, may be able to give Chelsea a run for their money in a bid to sign the forward.
Liam Rosenior’s side will have to make Julian Alvarez an offer convincing enough to make him choose them over PSG, especially since he is one of the best in the world in his position and can score more than 20 goals a season very consistently.
It will be interesting to see where the World Cup winner ultimately ends up, but if his preference is a return to England, Chelsea will be looking to get a deal over the line sooner rather than later once the summer transfer window opens.
