Arsenal Considering Julian Alvarez’s Return from Atletico Madrid

Arsenal is evaluating the potential of re-signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, with plans for a summer move rather than a January one.

No Immediate Transfer

According to a report from ESPN, discussions regarding Alvarez’s return to the Premier League won’t take place this month. Instead, the Gunners are aiming for a deal this upcoming summer, reaching out to the former Manchester City forward about his situation.

Critical Figures in the Negotiation

Arsenal’s Director of Football, Andrea Berta, who originally brought Alvarez to Atletico two years ago, will play a vital role in the negotiations.

Atletico’s Stance

• Price Tag: Atletico Madrid is open to selling Alvarez but is demanding a fee of €100 million.
• Arsenal’s Needs: Despite the addition of Viktor Gyokeres last summer and Gabriel Jesus regaining his health and form, Arsenal recognizes they need more depth in their attacking lineup.

Currently, Arsenal has initiated communication with Atletico Madrid and is seeking updates on Alvarez as they prepare for the summer transfer window.
