"Atlético Madrid reportedly have the firm intention of handing Julián Alvarez a new contract which would make him the club's highest-paid player to ward off interest from Arsenal and Barcelona."
"Alvarez's position in the Spanish capital is already pretty secure. The World Cup winner is tied down to a contract which still has four years left to run and includes a $574.9 million release clause."
"Atlético are inclined to turn that 'maybe' into a certainty with a contract extension which would entitle Alvarez to $11.5 million per year, a significant rise from his current annual salary of $8.1 million."
"Arsenal boast the financial might of the Premier League while Barcelona are so cash-strapped they've had to remove the free breakfasts offered to academy players in recent years."
