Julian Alvarez's future is on a knife-edge as the transfer window approaches its climax. Atletico are firmly refusing to sell the Argentinian striker to Barcelona, leaving Arsenal as a prime destination or a stay in Madrid as the likeliest outcomes. However, Manchester City are now eyeing a surprise return.
Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge reported:
Atletico's hierarchy has stated that they will never sell him to Barcelona. This leaves him with two options: remain with Atletico or head to north London with Arsenal.
It feels like time is running out. However, Marca reports that Manchester City are showing late interest in bringing Alvarez back.
Bridge also noted that during his initial spell in Manchester, Alvarez was reportedly unhappy with his situation at the club.
Thus, while Arsenal remains a key option for Alvarez, City’s renewed interest could complicate matters as the transfer deadline draws ever closer.
