London Evening Standard • • sports
Key Points:
- Arsenal remain keen on signing Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, their top target as the transfer window nears its close on September 1.
- Alvarez has publicly expressed a desire to join Barcelona, who recently revived their interest with a €100 million offer, but Atletico have firmly refused to sell him to their LaLiga rivals.
- The player has reportedly become more open to a move back to the Premier League, where he previously won major trophies with Manchester City.
- Alvarez has missed two days of Atletico training due to illness and faced hostility from fans after appearing as a substitute in a recent match.
- Atletico CEO Miguel Angel Gil confirmed the club will not negotiate with Barcelona but left the door open for Alvarez to move elsewhere, potentially boosting Arsenal’s chances.
