Arsenal are taking unconventional measures to persuade 26-year-old Argentine forward Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid to make a return to the Premier League, according to South American outlet DSports.
A key factor holding the forward back from considering offers from the UK has been the stringent immigration and visa restrictions that prevent his parents and numerous relatives from being with him on a long-term basis, a struggle he encountered during his time at Manchester City. In Spain, such bureaucratic procedures tend to be sorted out much more easily.
To overcome this barrier, Arsenal's hierarchy has offered Alvarez comprehensive legal assistance and guarantees of securing long-term residency status for his family members.
Simultaneously, the Gunners have informed Atletico's bosses of their readiness to shell out a staggering £115 million (€135 million) for the World Cup champion. As reported earlier by TEAMtalk, the clubs have held discreet negotiations in London, and Arsenal are determined to fight for the signature of the super forward right up to the final moments of the transfer window.
