Arsenal pursue a Julian Alvarez transfer as Bradley Barcola remains unavailable for the Gunners. kitu
Arsenal have made the Argentine forward his top priority after Atletico Madrid and PSG were rumored to be interested. The club’s move to secure him comes following his expressed desire to leave Diego Simeone’s side.
How will Arsenal secure Julian Alvarez chapters
Arsenal’s board and front office are tightening the legal and financial aspects of the deal. Alvarez’s release clause sits at €500 million – a figure Atletico has made clear must be met by any suitor. While Arsenal have not disclosed their offer, they are reportedly reaching for a quick settlement before the summer transfer window closes.
The club is looking to bolster its squad ahead of the next Premier League campaign. With a tight campaign range and high expectations from the Emirates faithful, the addition of a natural striker is seen as vital for a competitive title defence.
Why is Bradley Barcola unavailable for Arsenal?
Barcola has shown limited minutes at PSG last season, which made Arsenal monitor his availability. Nonetheless, Liverpool’s interest also put pressure on the player’s future. The Independent reports that the European champions will likely try to keep him. Arsenal are forced to treat him as a secondary option while they chase Alvarez.
The urgency to secure Alvarez has prompted Arsenal to see Barcola as a fallback, but the Barcelona offer for Ferran Torres also shows the turnover in move dynamics. Atletico and Barcelona’s varied requests further hint that the market is in a fluid state.
Is Arsenal likely to sign Julian Alvarez?
Arsenal’s ambition is clear – to clinch unterscheiden. If the club can honour the €500 million clause, Alvarez’s signing could materialise with a quick turnaround. The club is evidently focused on the Argentine’s departure from Madrid and will not wait for a bidding war to end. Hence, a transfer could close before the market opens wider.
