Overview
- Arsenal have explored a summer transfer for Julián Álvarez and held preliminary talks with his representatives, according to Goal citing FootballTransfers.
- Arteta is reported to see Álvarez operating on the left wing rather than as a central striker to strengthen a problem area in his attack.
- Atlético Madrid are expected to demand more than €100 million, with reporter Ben Jacobs indicating a price closer to €125–130 million to start talks.
- A COPE report, relayed by Just Arsenal, claims Álvarez has agreed to join PSG, though no formal bid or broad corroboration has been reported.
- At those prices the signing would likely be Arsenal’s second‑costliest after Declan Rice and could force sales or budget shifts, with Barcelona also in the chase.
