Arsenal and Chelsea Linked to Julián Álvarez as Atlético Set Steep Price

Atlético are reported to want around €150m for the striker, making any summer move uncertain.

Overview

Reports tie Arsenal and Chelsea to a potential summer move for the Atlético Madrid forward, with Goal saying Chelsea are advancing in talks.
Atletico are described as reluctant sellers and have been widely reported to value Álvarez at roughly €150m (about £130m).
Any deal would likely require a British-record fee, with coverage noting Liverpool’s £125m outlay for Alexander Isak as the current benchmark.
Cadena SER reporting, cited by Goal, says Barcelona were rebuffed even as figures near €200m were discussed.
TEAMtalk-based reports claim Álvarez is open to a Premier League return, while Ally McCoist argues he could see more regular minutes at Chelsea than at Arsenal.
