Julian Alvarez is open to joining Arsenal before the deadline. Atletico blocks his transfer to Barcelona (contract until 2030), giving the Gunners a chance.

26-year-old Argentinian forward Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid is considering a move to Arsenal before the transfer window closes.

As reported by Spanish outlet AS, Alvarez initially had his sights set on joining Barcelona. However, Atletico's firm position has left him reassessing his options. The Madrid club is categorically refusing to sell their star striker to a direct La Liga rival, yet Arsenal is maintaining ongoing dialogue with the player’s camp. This deadlock in negotiations with Barcelona has created a prime opportunity for the Gunners.

Alvarez, who has been with Atletico since the summer of 2024, is under contract until June 2030, making this scenario even more intriguing for Arsenal in their quest for reinforcements.
