I'm not sure Paris Saint Germain will be able to do that, because they are a team that when they want a player they will do everything they can to do it, including spending a lot of money to bring in that player. The financial power they have encourages them to do that, even though we think it is something excessive, but they don't care as long as they can get what they want.
We can remember that when they wanted to keep Mbappe, they even gave this player big privileges and they didn't care about that. I think they will continue to do the same things to get what they want. Even though they have to spend a lot of money and it's not actually worth it. However, we'll see how things develop, because currently we have only heard rumors and in fact they have not made a specific approach to bringing Julian Alvarez to Paris Saint Germain.

Julian Alvarez is a back-up for Halaand, Pep Guardiola will try to keep him, because Manchester City really need the services of the player from Argentita as a rotation option, considering the many competitions they are participating in next season. Julian Alvarez talent not only attracted the interest of PSG, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid were also very interested in him. Playing in 54 matches in all competitions, Julian Alvarez managed to score 19 goals and 13 assists, and Manchester City is not actually in a financial crisis so they feel the need to release one of their talented strikers.

Osimhen is a more suitable player for PSG to recruit, Napoli reportedly wants to let him go in the transfer market next summer, they need big money to build a squad to support Antonio Conte. In my opinion, there is no doubt about Osimhen's sharpness, because he was once Serie A top scorer. It's just that this season, Osimhen performance has decreased slightly due to injury, but he can find his sharpness again next season and he is good enough to fill PSG front line.

Álvarez is a striker while Mbappe is a winger, can Álvarez be a direct replacement for Mbappe? I think No, they just need a striker to increase their goal scoring ability because one of the main players they relied on in terms of goal scoring is left them, and if they didn’t sign a striker that can be scoring goals, their performance will drop drastically even though they can still win the League 1 title because the teams in the tournament are not as strong as them; they will only suffer in the Champions League.

I don’t think Manchester City will allow Álvarez to leave the team at this moment, therefore, I will advice PSG to diversify their hustle for signing striker, they should try signing Osimhen since the EPL teams didn’t look ready to offer the money Napoli is demanding for.

Julian Alvarez without doubt is a fantastic player who is very good with the ball on his feet and also knows how to make unexpected run ins that does create chances for his teammates to score or square the ball to him to convert. He's a modern day striker that can easily play in any of the big teams in Europe but I don't think he worths the 100 million euros you just said now. At Manchester City, he's not been regular player because he's the second choice striker behind Erling Haaland and if Manchester City are willing to sell him, any amount above 60 million will be in excess if you ask me.
Paris Saint Germaine as we all know have the financial strength to sign Alvarez but they shouldn't allow Manchester City to put them under any unnecessary pressure which will make them pay above what they're supposed to pay for the Argentine striker.

Salary has not been a problem to him all this while, except if he has needed an increment in the salary and the team probably have turned it down then it could be seen that it's very tangible reason for his exit from the team which I think is a very reasonable one. Another could be just like you rightly mentioned that a player would want to change their environment and wouldn't want to be in that same place they have been long enough anymore.

If a player is refund from moving at the time he want to move to a particular team, the chances that he will still be playing optimally as he should without the reservation on the fact that he's not playing in the right conditions where he should be playing as at the time when he's playing, it will be just best for him to leave and if need be with the clause the team may wish to add .

Considering all the financial situations going on there, I feel like it wouldn't be a bad idea to get 100 million euro to be fair. City right now is on a very risky legal battle against FA and we are talking about a team who would be hated so much that they could literally turn into a club where no player would want to stay or go to. I mean like literally on every away game, other teams may literally create chaos, fans would be mad like hell. So, it would be quite obvious that we are going to see City value money over players, because those players may want to prefer to leave for free.

The situation is that we are going to end up with something that will take a while to recover. Or maybe they trust their lawyers and will win and that is why I think they may keep him, but still 100 million feels like a lot of money to say no.

The difference in player quality and also finance is certainly the reason why currently PSG is like a giant among the dwarves, so it is very difficult for other teams to break their dominance in the domestic league, the financial incompetence owned by PSG rival team certainly makes them unable to compete in the league championship and I think as long as there are no other teams that rise in terms of their finances, of course PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 even for In the next few seasons, compared to other leagues, of course Ligue 1 is a league that is boring for us to watch so far because there is indeed no fierce competition in fighting for the championship trophy, even when this season PSG lost Mbappe and the league has not started yet, I am still sure that the Ligue 1 trophy next season will belong to PSG again.

PSG is reportedly interested in bringing in Alvarez as a replacement for Mbappe next season, indeed if we look at Alvarez ability of course he deserves to play in a competitive league, but I think it doesn't hurt for Alvarez to play with PSG if possible, because I think at PSG Alvarez will of course appear regularly and that way he can continue to show his ability to score goals,  So that in the end it can make him on a par with other great strikers in the future like Mbappe today, at the young age of Alvarez, of course he can make PSG a ladder to get the attention of elite clubs in the future.

His decision of wanting to leave can be due to the way he's being treated at the club to the salary and wages that he's earning and wants to leave for a greener pasture and also could be a matter of the individual player wanting change of environment, Therefore, If a player decides to leave a particular club for another, the best thing the management should do is that he should be given that opportunity because refusing him will not really do the team any good as he won't be playing with he's total mind and strength and offering his best to the club because he had lost interest spending more time at the club.

right, I support your opinion and that is one of the wrong decisions if Alvarez will receive an offer from PSG and this will be a very silly decision if Man City releases Alvarez to join PSG who will only give achievements in the domestic league or League 1, but will continue to have difficulty achieving achievements in big competitions.
but on the one hand we cannot see what the plan is being thought of by Alvarez at this time or in the next few seasons when a player starts to think about money compared to his career and for example when Alvarez receives an offer from PSG, I'm sure if Alvarez is not thinking about About his future career but thinking about money with a large salary.

but if you look at his current age, Alvarez has a broader thought to prioritize his career than thinking about money in his youth.
24 years still looks young and has a very long career so it is only natural that PSG is interested in the player because he can become a player of any option and also still has a strong physical and reliable if with PSG.
after Mbappe departure, PSG became more aggressive to bring in quality players from other league teams in the hope that they could get the same achievement when there was still a mbappe and of course this was a concern for the president of PSG who was afraid that later it would look weak even though competition in League 1 was not too tight.

Basically, at least Julian Alvarez is still the first choice for Manchester City's main squad but strangely, Julian Alvarez wants to leave and I think that's a very absurd statement. But,  ifJulian Alvarez really intends to get a newchallenge, then playing for any team in anyleague is not a problem. Because anyway, the problem and the question is,  how canJulian Alvarez want to leave while he always gets a place in Manchester City's main squad.What's more,  Manchester City is also a big team that always promises to win trophies every season but unfortunately, it seems like Julian Alvarez is not comfortable being at Manchester City,I think that's strange.

For dominance in Ligue 1 I am not sure there is another club next season that can beat PSG because they have indeed formed as a strong team with a more even player capacity in all positions. Mbappe's departure will not necessarily make PSG have difficulty in the Champions League because if you look at PSG's ability, it is still sufficient to buy some of the players needed. Now what Luis Enrique needs to think about is how to maximize and try to find the players needed to help the team be more solid.

If management gives him the freedom to buy players, Luis Enrique's steps will be much easier. Because actually it is not seen from the big name but the players who are bought have the best ability to work together with the team. This is a tough task that must be completed and PSG can fix the team to be stronger when competing in the Champions League next season.

There is no need for Alvarez to leave Manchester City like I said before. He is already playing for one of the best teams in Europe. He is able to find so many chances to play at the same time. Why would he want to leave in this situation right?   

Besides PSG should be out of his mind already. Just as you said playing in the Ligue 1 by leaving the Premier League doesn't make sense. It is a big prestige loss. He is showing his skills much more comfortably in his current place. It is going to be really difficult for PSG to convince players in similar situation in my opinion. After Mbappe's departure they have got much weaker and they will need to find a solution to this until leagues start again.

This could be the main reason that Julian Alvarez should consider, because apart from the possibility of getting a trophy through the team he plays for, he himself also has to highlight how his career will develop in the future. But he can also follow in the footsteps of Mbappe, who was at PSG for a very long time, but eventually moved to another team in a more competitive league. Because Ligue1 is known for not being very competitive, so there is no curiosity for the audience that one or two matches have been missed.

but will Manchester City also agree to let go of one of its valuable players? In my opinion, it will not be so easy for them to let go of this player, because this player is still young and is a player who can still be relied on in the long term. Julian Alvarez has a contract until 2028 with Manchester City, and with a long contract like that, it means that Manchester City really has long-term goals with this player.
However, I don't know if Pep Guardiola will leave, because the role of the coach will also affect the players. It could be that when Pep Guardiola left he also wanted to leave following the departure of his coach, this is something that is difficult to explain. but for now I still believe, as long as Manchester City is still with Pep Guardiola then Julian Alvarez will also still be in their squad.
Unless Julian Alvarez prioritizes money, then maybe he wants to leave, on the other hand I also doubt he prioritizes money.

PSG will certainly experience ups and downs in performance at the start of the season, Enrique squad needs time to adapt to Mbappe departure to Madrid, because so far they have been very dependent on Mbappe. However, PSG can still dominate the competition in Ligue 1 thanks to the depth of the squad they have, Mbappe departure gives other players the opportunity to develop, Enrique is not short of options even though he did not bring in a replacement for Mbappe in the summer transfer window. Given its financial strength, PSG will probably continue to dominate Ligue 1 for the next few seasons.

Next season the gap will continue in Ligue 1, but I hope one of the Ligue 1 contestants can perform impressively to put pressure on PSG. As Leverkusen did in the Bundesliga, it made Ligue 1 more competitive and more interesting. In fact, this can make PSG stronger when playing in the Champions League, because they have tough competition at domestic level. This season PSG has been very successful at domestic level, Enrique managed the team in his first season. Regarding Julian Alvarez, I think PSG will have difficulty recruiting him because Man City has no intention of letting him go, besides that PSG will have to compete with Atletico and Chelsea if they want the player.

You are right, even though Ligue 1 is one of the big leagues in Europe, some people think Ligue 1 is not interesting, this happens because the competition here is very minimal and is only dominated by Paris Saint Germain. For Paris Saint Germain, becoming champions in Ligue 1 is something that is very easy, because they have everything needed to make them champions. Meanwhile for other clubs it becomes difficult because of the presence of Paris Saint Germain.

Julian Alvarez going to Paris Saint Germain? To be honest, personally I don't want him to be here, because he is a player who has good abilities and he can compete in a bigger and more competitive league than in Ligue 1. His presence at Manchester City also makes a big contribution to them. , that means he can really compete even though the competition at Manchester City is not easy, and he is even in the most competitive league at the moment.

Ligue 1 isn't as popular as the Premier League, and some label it a "farmers' league" with a snicker. But PSG's not your typical club. Always competing in the Champions League gives Julián a chance to shine against the best. This young, hungry boy has a lot of potential. Who'll refuse PSG's huge cash offer? Money isn't everything. He needs a platform to prove himself on the biggest stage. Neymar too jumped and is still a global celebrity

While charming, the Premier League is hardly the pinnacle of football. Players evolve, leave a legacy, and push themselves. PSG could be the ideal fit for Julián Alvarez. Man, trust his intuition.

There is no doubt that Paris Saint Germain can meet the large salary that the player wants according to the agreement, they are a team with a very good financial situation, so spending a lot of money on the player's salary is not a problem for them. They have even done it to 3 players at once, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, they spent a lot of money on these 3 players and it didn't cause them financial difficulties.

But what you say is true, Julian Alvarez is still 24 years old and with his good performance he can find an even better team. In Ligue 1, especially when he was at Paris Saint Germain he wouldn't find tough competition and I don't think that's good for a player. Because no matter how good a player is, they still have to face tough competition to keep them from being in their comfort zone which ultimately is not good for their career. If Paris Saint Germain wants him, then he should consider not accepting the offer that comes.

It looks like PSG will soon get a new goalkeeper this summer and he will be Matvey Sazonov. Previously, Keylor Navas said goodbye to PSG at the end of the season along with Kylian Mbappe too. Matvey Sazonov is the goalkeeper for one of the teams in the Russian league, namely FC Krasnodar, and he is quite young, 25 years old.

As a second or back-up goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnaruma seems quite suitable, especially since PSG currently doesn't have another good goalkeeper in the squad. PSG seems to be starting to work optimally after this season ends and they don't want to delay any more time to strengthen the depth of their squad. Apart from that, although this has not yet been confirmed, PSG is very confident that they can bring him in, especially since the two parties have been in contact since last May with an offer of 20 million euros from PSG and a contract until 2029.

One by one the star players left PSG in the last few seasons, after Cavani, Messi and Neymar left, precisely this season PSG also lost the players they have relied on in the last 6 seasons, Mbappe has now officially become a Madrid player and of course Mbappe departure now leaves a big hole in the front line that must be immediately covered by PSG in order to remain a scary team next season,  Mbappe departure will certainly not have much effect on their dominance in Ligue 1, because there is indeed no other team that is stronger and dominating than PSG at the moment, but losing Mbappe will of course have a big impact on PSG competition in the Champions League next season.

The management continues to improve the team every season and even they continue to bring in a coach who is considered capable of handling PSG, but unfortunately until now they are still not able to get their first champions league trophy, currently PSG of course has very high hopes for Luis Enrique and of course Enrique also still needs a lot of time and support from management to realize their dreams.
