Transfer: Arsenal Give Julian Alvarez Condition To Approach Atletico For Deal

Arsenal remain interested in signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid but will only make a formal move if the Argentine striker gives them the green light.

The Premier League champions are reportedly confident that they can reach an agreement with Atletico Madrid over a transfer fee for the 26-year-old forward.

However, Alvarez’s decision will determine whether Arsenal proceed with the deal.

The former Manchester City striker reportedly still wants to remain in LaLiga, with Barcelona currently his preferred destination.

Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Arsenal are closely monitoring the situation.

Romano wrote on X:

“Arsenal remain attentive to Julián Álvarez situation and internal feeling is they can reach an agreement with Atlético on the fee.

“But #AFC will only bid if Julián decides to open doors to the move: his stance will be the key factor.

“So far, Julián only wanted Barcelona.”

Arsenal will therefore wait for Alvarez to make a decision before approaching Atletico Madrid with an official offer.
