In the summer, it was reported that Arsenal were willing to pay £100 million plus a Gyökeres or Madueke in the deal. The player the reigning Premier League champions were looking for was Julian Alvarez. Although the Atletico star was clear that he wanted to join Barcelona, the Gunners did not give up when Atletico slammed the door on an Alvarez exit to La Liga rivals. Now it is reported that something is going on.
Earlier this week, Teamtalk insider Graham Bailey reported that Alvarez is seriously considering signing for Arsenal in 2027, this is followed up by Spanish football expert Guillem Balague

“Barcelona had previously been his preferred destination, but Arsenal are now emerging as his first choice,” Balague is quoted as saying by TransferNewslive, where it is also claimed that Alvarez is open to a potential move to Arsenal as early as January.
