Arsenal Weigh Move for Julián Álvarez If Havertz or Gyökeres Is Sold

League spending limits, together with a crowded attack, require a sale before any bid.

Overview

Reports citing BBC Sport say Arsenal’s interest is real but depends on selling Kai Havertz or Viktor Gyökeres to free space and comply with rules that limit club losses.
No formal offer has been made, and Arsenal would only advance talks after an outgoing forward creates room in the squad and on the wage bill.
Mikel Arteta’s staff view Álvarez as a strong tactical fit because he presses, links play, and can play across the front line.
The Argentine’s recent Champions League free-kick for Atlético Madrid underlined his form and helps explain why he is on Arsenal’s list.
A sale could be difficult because Gyökeres only arrived last summer on a deal to 2030 and Havertz is a well-paid regular, while separate reports suggest Gabriel Jesus could depart.
