Atletico Madrid have reportedly conducted secret negotiations with Arsenal representatives in London concerning the potential sale of striker Julian Alvarez. This revelation comes from the reputable talkSPORT radio.
The Madrid hierarchy have made it clear that they will not entertain a transfer to Barcelona, despite the player’s personal desire to join the Catalan side. Atletico's bosses have informed Arsenal that they are willing to consider offers exceeding £120 million for the eager forward.
The Gunners are set to submit an official bid as the transfer window approaches its climax, provided Alvarez is open to a move to the Emirates. Moreover, the two clubs have also discussed the possibility of a loan while Atletico assesses the player's readiness for a long-term deal. Tensions between the forward and the club are escalating, with Alvarez having missed two training sessions, officially citing illness.
