"Arsenal have reportedly made some initial informal enquiries over the situation of Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez ahead of the summer. According to ESPN, the Gunners looked at Alvarez last summer as well, and now seem to be looking into a potential deal again ahead of the 2026/27 season. Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta could be key here, as he previously worked at Atletico Madrid, and has a good relationship with Alvarez's agent Fernando Hidalgo, according to ESPN."
"It's early days yet, so there's no guarantee Alvarez ends up at Arsenal, while his price tag is also likely to be difficult for a lot of clubs to meet. As covered yesterday, Alvarez could cost as much as 150m or perhaps even closer to 200m, according to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur."
"However, another thing to keep an eye on could be Alvarez's form and how it affects his price tag in the months ahead. A recent Fichajes report suggested that the 25-year-old's value may already have fallen after a poor run of form, with just one goal in his last ten games."
Arsenal have made initial informal enquiries into Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez ahead of the summer. The club looked at Alvarez last summer and are examining a potential deal ahead of the 2026/27 season. Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta previously worked at Atletico Madrid and has a relationship with Alvarez's agent Fernando Hidalgo. Valuation estimates range from €150m to €200m, which would make a transfer financially challenging for many clubs. A recent poor run of form, with one goal in ten games, may have reduced Alvarez's market value. Alvarez has been one of Europe's top forwards and his numbers invite comparison with Arsenal's current strikers.
