Julian Alvarez continues to be linked with a move to Arsenal, and the Gunners view him as a dream transfer target.
According to a report from the BBC, Arsenal are trying to get the deal done before the deadline day, but they are fully aware that the transfer is now a long shot. The former Manchester City striker is not keen on a move to the London club, and he has not given Arsenal the green light.
Julian Alvarez remains Arsenal’s dream target
Apparently, the player dreams of playing for Barcelona, and he believes joining Arsenal would end any hopes of joining the Spanish champions.
In addition, certain visa regulations would make it difficult for his family to visit him in the United Kingdom. Therefore, he wants to join Barcelona, and the Spanish champions are doing everything in their power to make the move happen.
However, Atletico Madrid are adamant that they will not sell him to a rival club. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Alvarez faces difficult Arsenal decision
Arsenal need a quality striker leading the line for them, and Alvarez would be an upgrade on Viktor Gyokeres. The South American can create opportunities for his teammates and score goals. He can operate centrally as well as on the flanks. He has a more complete skill set than the Swedish international.
However, the deal looks increasingly difficult, and the only way the move could happen is if the player decides to return to the Premier League.
Convincing Atletico Madrid to sell the player might not be too difficult for Arsenal, but Alvarez remains keen on joining Barcelona.
Why are after Julian Alvarez he is not Messy or Ronaldo can’t Arsenal focus on Victor Osimhen and leave Julian Alvarez alone to his fate is the best players now on this planet Earth the answer is no why is he trying to make it like he is the best and Arteta and Andrew Bertha are dancing to his tone please let’s go for Victor Osimhen to compete with Victor Gyokere the two pairs can play together.
Does it make sense that a player says he doesn’t want to come to London and you keep insisting? Is Arsenal really considering improving their attack? Look at the attacks of City and Chelsea. Bring Osimhen!!!
Watkins was available before Saudi Arabia came calling
It looks like it will happen as the Athleticos fans now want Alveraz gone. Alveraz has good history with Arteta.
Barcelona have now turned their attention to €120m Gyokeres as their priority striker.
Arteta will not release Gyokeres for less than €120m and would be happy to keep Gyokeres as Alveraz is really a Jesus replacement as far as numbers are concerned.
Martinelli had a good European run as he mainly played to his strengths in counter attacking and playing through the middle where the opposition could not push him wide.
A possible new position for Martinelli should he stay and extend his contract with Arsenal if they don’t get their £70m evaluation met.
There maybe a few more surprises to come!
