Julián Álvarez
On Friday, it was reported that Julián Álvarez remained at Atletico Madrid despite an unsuccessful attempt by Arsenal to sign him, which followed his announcement of a desire to leave. The day before, 90min reported that Arsenal and briefly Real Madrid emerged as potential destinations, but he was determined to move to Camp Nou. The report suggests he could reconsider Arsenal’s interest in the winter if his situation at the Metropolitano becomes unbearable. It was also understood on Thursday that Mikel Arteta had a personal phone call with the player late in the window before the club decided against a deal, as they were not convinced the 26-year-old was genuinely open to moving back to England.
Raphinha
Arsenal are reportedly considering a January transfer window bid for Raphinha, who has started this season for Barcelona in strong form.
