Arsenal have won the Premier League for the first time in 22 years and will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. Focus is already shifting to next season and maintaining top-level status domestically and in Europe. Arsenal are reportedly working to tie down manager Mikel Arteta to a longer contract, with his current deal expiring next summer. The club are also linked with major transfers, including Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali and Atletico forward Julian Alvarez. Reports indicate Alvarez may want to leave this summer, with Barcelona also interested. Arsenal are prepared to make an aggressive move, meeting Atletico’s financial demands and proposing a player-plus-cash offer, with Alvarez open to a quick transfer to either Champions League finalist.
"Arsenal are not resting on their laurels as they approach the end of their most memorable season in a generation. Having wrapped up their first Premier League title in 22 years last week, the Gunners are now eyeing a maiden Champions League crown when they take on Paris Saint-Germain in Saturday's final in Budapest. But attention is already turning to next season, as Arsenal look to consolidate their place at the top of the domestic and European game."
"The Gunners are reportedly looking to tie down manager Mikel Arteta to a longer contract, with the Spaniard's existing deal set to expire next summer. They have also been linked with several high-profile transfer targets including Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali and Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez, although reports earlier this month suggested that the latter appeared to be favouring a move to PSG."
"However, Arsenal have not given up hope on landing the Argentina international, with TEAMtalk claiming that the club are ready to make an 'aggressive' move for Alvarez. The 26-year-old joined Atletico from Manchester City only two years ago but is said to be keen to depart this summer, with Barcelona also interested. The Catalan giants' ongoing budgetary constraints could mean they are priced out of a deal, though, with Alvarez reportedly set to cost 100m-plus."
"Arsenal and PSG are prepared to meet Atletico's financial demands, according to TEAMtalk, and the Gunners are proposing a player-plus-cash proposal for the 2022 World Cup winner. This has strengthened their hand, with Alvarez open to a move to both Champions League finalists and reportedly keen to complete the deal quickly."
