Negotiations between Julián Álvarez’s agent and Atlético Madrid are ongoing, but a deal to bring the Argentine striker to the Spanish capital has yet to be finalized.
A significant hurdle in the talks is the player’s salary demands. Recent reports suggest Álvarez has received a lucrative €10 million net salary offer from Paris Saint-Germain, which has complicated negotiations with Atlético.
The Spanish club is now under pressure to match the French giants’ offer if they hope to secure the services of the highly-rated forward.
The outcome of the salary discussions will also impact the potential transfers of Gallagher and Omorodion, who are both waiting in the wings.
