And it is indeed Piastri that Alpine wanted, signing just announced.

gonna be a bloodbath between him and Ocon fighting it out. 

or maybe not. Piastri hasn’t said anything yet, maybe he is the one that doesn’t want to drive for Alpine?

Just saw Piastri's response to Alpine Smiley  How could they mess that up so badly?

My take, McLaren.

They already did that with one of the Indy driver. One team announced a lineup and then another announced the same driver also. 
 

There had to be a loophole in the contract somehow that no they can exploit.

All we know is Piastri had to be in a F1 seat by next year for his ‘contract’ with Alpine to be ‘valid’. But there had to be details we don’t know yet. 
 

Edit:

it would seems the contract Alpine had with Piastri said he needs to be placed in a seat before Aug 1st. But the days was being occupied by Alonso’s decision and Alpine forgot about Piastri before the deadline. McLaren seems to have known that, or Webber who figure out something
