Julián Álvarez Transfer from Atlético Madrid to Arsenal

Julian Alvarez's agent has dismissed rumours of negotiations with Barcelona. According to Football Insider, Arsenal will have to pay over €92m for the Atletico Madrid striker this summer.

Arsenal are monitoring Julian Alvarez's situation and currently seem to be in a better position to sign him than Barcelona. The presence of Andrea Berta, an Arsenal director who brought Alvarez to the Spanish capital in the summer of 2024 before later moving to North London, is considered a potential advantage. Arsenal already have three prominent strikers, and at least one would have to be sold, which is also due to UEFA financial rules. The club's significant spending last year means that Arsenal may have to sell players in order to buy new ones next summer.

According to ESPN, Arsenal are exploring a summer move for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and have made an informal enquiry over his availability. Atletico purchased Alvarez for £64 million plus £17 million in add-ons, and it could cost in excess of £87 million to sign him if the club considers a sale.

According to Team Talk, Arsenal and Chelsea have held talks with intermediaries about a move for Julian Alvarez, whose future in the Spanish capital is increasingly uncertain.

It is possible that Arsenal will pursue Julian Alvarez this summer, and according to Spanish sources, Atletico will ask for approximately 100 million euros for him.

Goal.com has reported that Arsenal have begun exploring a summer transfer for Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez. Sporting director Andrea Berta is using his connections at the Spanish club to assess the possibility of bringing the forward back to the Premier League.

Ekrem Konur reports that Arsenal are considering Julian Alvarez and could compete with Barcelona for the transfer. Konur also reports that the Argentina international could cost more than €150m, and possibly close to €200m.

David Ornstein revealed on the Sky Sports Transfer Show that Arsenal considered Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez during the summer and that he was discussed. It was also mentioned that there could be a possibility for an attacking signing in the future if players depart.

Arsenal had an interest in a potential deal for Julian Alvarez last summer and might renew their interest in the striker due to Viktor Gyokeres’ goalscoring difficulties this season. The Spanish publication Fichajes claims that Atletico Madrid would have to consider a sale if a suitable offer is received. It was reported that several clubs across Europe were interested in submitting a €150m bid for Alvarez. However, according to Fichajes, his recent decline in form has resulted in his market value dropping. Consequently, Arsenal could be in a strong position to sign Alvarez if they make a serious attempt to acquire him this summer.

90min reports that several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, are interested in Julián Álvarez after his debut season with Atlético Madrid. The report states there have been no negotiations or offers, and that his agent has denied receiving any official offers.

Arsenal is considering Julian Alvarez as a potential signing due to Kai Havertz's physical issues. Julian Alvarez is reportedly not very convinced about his current path at Atletico Madrid and would not mind a return to the Premier League. However, the transfer is complicated by the fact that there is just over a week left in the transfer window and Atletico Madrid's coach, Diego Simeone, is unlikely to easily let go of a player of Alvarez's caliber.

Arsenal are named as the 'strongest bidders' for Julián Alvarez, according to Marca. The Gunners are exploring multiple striker options this summer, and Alvarez is a key target. However, Alvarez intends to stay in La Liga due to his comfort level at Atlético Madrid. Alvarez moved to Atlético at the start of the 2024–25 season from Manchester City for a reported deal up to €95 million. He delivered 21 goal involvements in 37 league appearances last season.

Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid at the end of the season. Arsenal is particularly in need of a high-quality goal-scorer, and Julian Alvarez is seen as a potential leading figure for next season. His potential to add goals and creativity to Arsenal's attack, combined with his versatility and strong work ethic, makes him a valuable target. Meetings with interested clubs are set to start next week, and Atletico Madrid may consider selling him if a substantial offer is made during the summer. The 25-year-old striker, regarded as one of the best in La Liga, has scored 29 goals and provided six assists this season. His previous experience in the Premier League with Manchester City is acknowledged, and Erling Haaland has reportedly described him as an 'amazing footballer.' Arsenal's urgency for a reliable centre-forward is underscored by their recent difficulties in scoring, which have hindered their league title ambitions. Alvarez's capability to play across the front three and his defensive contributions further increase his attractiveness to the Gunners.
