“Barcelona” is shocked. “Arsenal” is trying to solve the Alvarez deal

Arsenal are trying to agree a deal to sign Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez, who has been linked with a move to Barcelona.

The newspaper reported.SportsAccording to The Independent, the London club now see a real opportunity to sign the Argentinian striker and have opened talks, taking advantage of the difficult situation with the player that Atletico Madrid are experiencing.

Reports suggest that Alvarez and those close to him prefer a move to Barca, but they have not closed the door on the Gunners, and so Arsenal will try to reach an agreement with all parties, investing a huge amount of money, which could end one of the most famous stories of the summer transfer market.

Arsenal’s sporting director Andrea Berta, who previously worked at Atletico Madrid, is leading these talks with the aim of signing the player regardless of the price.

The Independent explain that Arsenal have made their move after the media hype surrounding the player died down and, more importantly, competition for the deal diminished.

Real Madrid have effectively dropped out of the race as they have no chance, while Paris Saint-Germain prefer to focus on other deals such as Diomande and Ferran Torres.

As for Arsenal, the real challenger remains Barcelona, ​​but officials at the London club believe that Atletico Madrid will not agree to sell the player to Barca, which could leave Arsenal as the only viable option.

Arsenal had moved away from signing Alvarez in order to explore the possibility of bringing in Bradley Barcola, but Paris are demanding huge sums, suggesting the player is not for sale at the moment.

It is noteworthy that “Arsenal” initially intended to invest 100 million euros to acquire Alvarez, but realizes that in the coming days, it will have to increase the value of its offer.

Officials at Barcelona are aware of Arsenal’s latest moves, but are keeping calm as they know the player prefers to wear the Catalan team’s shirt.
