Julian Alvarez is setting the transfer market alight, attracting the attention of Europe's biggest clubs. PSG, Arsenal, and Barcelona have all reached out to the Argentine, but Atlético has set their price tag.

Diego Simeone addressed the situation in a press conference. Asked about Julian Alvarez's future, the Atlético de Madrid boss didn't try to quash the rumors:

"I can't read his mind. It's only natural that a player like Julian is wanted by Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona. It's normal. He's very good."

According to El Chiringuito, talks are already well underway behind the scenes. Mikel Arteta, Luis Enrique, and Hansi Flick have reportedly spoken personally with the Argentine forward, as top managers often do with their priority targets.

Still, Atlético won't let their star go on the cheap. The Colchoneros will only start considering offers upwards of 150 million euros. Paris, Arsenal, and Barcelona have been warned.
