PSG have made contact for Lucas Alario - agent

The 24-year-old striker has impressed for River Plate and is being tracked by the French champions and Inter, with the former said to have made the first move

Paris Saint-Germain have made contact with Argentine striker Lucas Alario, the River Plate star's agent says.

The 24-year-old has impressed with the Argentine giants, scoring four goals in 11 Primera Division games this season, while he has featured twice for the national team.

Alario has attracted reported interest from PSG and Inter, and it seems the Ligue 1 champions have made the first move in the race to acquire the much talked about prospect.

“[PSG director of sport] Patrick Kluivert contacted me some time ago, but there are no concrete offers of PSG yet," Pedro Aldave told Foot Mercato. 

"They could be a good solution for Alario’s future but we have to see how things develop in January."

Alario joined River Plate from Colon in 2015 and is currently contracted to the club until June 2020.
