"A source informed TEAMtalk: Barca have been told from Alvarez's side that this will not become a saga. They know both Arsenal and Chelsea are ready to go, they really want him. Alvarez's camp talking to Arsenal and Chelsea is no tactic, they are very serious. He is happy to move to London and join one of Europe's biggest clubs that is not a problem to him and that has been made clear."
"Arsenal and Chelsea would have a major advantage in any race to sign the player. Chelsea need an upgrade on Liam Delap, who has failed to live up to expectations. Alvarez would be an exceptional acquisition. He has been prolific since moving to La Liga, and he has shown his quality in England with Manchester City."
"Alvarez has 45 goals and 15 assists in 98 appearances for the Spanish club. At Arsenal, he could prove to be an upgrade on Viktor Gyokeres, who has not been able to score consistently since the big-money move to Arsenal. The 26-year-old could transform both teams in the attack."
Julian Alvarez, 26-year-old Atletico Madrid striker, is attracting significant interest from multiple top European clubs. Arsenal and Chelsea are the primary contenders, with the player expressing a clear preference for a move to London. Barcelona has also shown interest, but Alvarez's representatives have indicated the situation will not become protracted. The former Manchester City player is ready to return to the Premier League and is serious about joining either London club. Both Arsenal and Chelsea view him as a significant upgrade to their attacking options. Alvarez has demonstrated consistent quality at Atletico Madrid with 45 goals and 15 assists in 98 appearances, and previously proved his capabilities in England. His transfer fee is expected to exceed 100 million pounds.
