"Arsenal could be set to join the race for Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez who has been linked with a move to Barcelona. A new report from ESPN details how the Gunners have "explored the possibility" of going for Alvarez in the summer transfer window. Sporting director Andrea Berta moved to Arsenal after 12 years with Atletico in the summer, and it seems his relationship with Diego Simeone's side could help any potential deal go through."
"Arsenal have invested heavily in the squad recently, with the likes of Victor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, and Noni Madueke all arriving last summer. Yet Gyokeres has struggled to live up to his lofty price tag and Arsenal may now spend again. Barcelona are also thought to be keen on Alvarez but he looks out of the club's financial reach currently."
Arsenal have explored the possibility of signing Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez in the summer transfer window. Sporting director Andrea Berta's recent move from Atletico to Arsenal after 12 years could facilitate negotiations given his relationship with Diego Simeone's side. Arsenal reinforced the squad last summer with Victor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke, but Gyokeres has struggled to justify his fee, prompting further potential spending. Barcelona are also interested but currently lack the financial ability to complete a deal. Atletico insist they do not want to sell Alvarez and would demand at least 2100m if they did.
