Arsenal remain keen on Julian Alvarez
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are keeping a close eye on the situation and could look to make a move if the player forces an exit.
Arsenal need another quality striker, and Alvarez would be exceptional for them. He had 29 goal contributions for Atletico Madrid last season, and he could be the complete forward. Arsenal are looking for.
Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Arsenal keep a close eye on the situation of Julian Alvarez and Barcelona.
“Now, Atletico are saying they don’t want to sell the player in general, but in case there is a broken relationship between Julian and Atleti, and at some point they decide to sell the player in August, Arsenal could still be interested to the situation and could still keep a close eye on Julian Alvarez”.

Alvarez set for Premier League return?
Alvarez has played in England before with Manchester City, and there is no doubt that he could make an immediate impact in the Premier League with Arsenal. He knows the league well, and he will be able to settle in quickly.
The striker will look to sort out his future quickly and focus on his football. He has reached the final of the World Cup with Argentina, and he will look to win the trophy with his country once again. Spain will be up against Argentina in the final later today, and the future of players like Alvarez could be decided once the mega event is over.

Athletico needs to be aware that in keeping an unhappy non fully committed player will effect his performance for this coming season.
Athletico may end up with a player that is not 100% committed who may frein injury and just wind down his contract while under performing and while still getting paid.
It’s a loosing situation for Athletico as the player always holds all the cards, due to his up coming efforts and performance level being under his control and being unhappy, he will not perform well.
Better to sell him for £85m to a “non Spanish rival team” ,of his choice, and reinvest the money in 100% committed players, or do a swap deal.
That true
Vinicius who has gone on record as saying “apart from his current club I also love the way Arsenal plays and how the club is run, and Henry was my idol growing up” and Arsenal would be his preferred next destination should he ever leave.
Arsenal have taken steps for the now unhappy Vinicius, who has refused a new contract with his current club, who must cash in on him while they can.
Vinicius will be Arsenals next major signing for £80m, with a lower wage offer of under 300k pw agreed, but with a huge signing on bonus to make amends for the wage reduction with Arsenal.
Agreement between agents for Vinicius has already been signed and agreed.
An official bid between £77m -£80m is forthcoming between clubs, due to his current contract soon to be expiry date.
