London Arsenal intends to open negotiations with Atletico Madrid for a possible transfer of Argentine forward Julian Alvarez.

The Gunners' team views the attacker as one of the priority candidates to strengthen the attacking line. The initiator of the potential interest is the sports director of the club, Andrea Berta, who is well aware of the footballer’s abilities and highly appreciates his skill..

However, the position of the Madrid club is no longer unchanged. Atletico has no intention of starting negotiations regarding the sale of one of its key players. The club has repeatedly said that Alvarez will enter before the team's plans for the coming season and not available for transfer.

Moreover, the “mattress players” previously publicly expressed dissatisfaction through active interest from the side of Barcelona to the Argentine. The footballer himself, according to obvious information, is not against moving to the Catalan giants, but Atletico’s management has actually closed such a possibility.

The striker’s contract has a clause in the amount of 500 million euros, and the Madrid club is committing to it, considering it unnecessary to separate from the German.

Around Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain also shows interest in Alvarez. Following the data, the forward’s representatives held negotiations with both clubs in the second half of the season.. Potential buyers would value the opportunity at around 150 million euros, but Atletico consider this amount to be insufficient.
