Arsenal close to signing Julian Alvarez — AS

Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez could continue his career in the English Premier League. AS reports that London club Arsenal have been working on the transfer of the Argentine player for a long time.

Although Alvarez himself wants to stay in Spain, and especially to join Barcelona, he is not against considering an offer to return to England due to the difficulties in transferring to this team. According to reports, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta and the club's management have been in direct contact with the player.

The source claims that the Londoners' sports project is to Alvarez's liking. However, visa restrictions and bureaucratic obstacles in the UK could seriously hinder this transfer, as strict rules make it difficult for the player's family and friends to travel to England.

For information, Alvarez played 49 games for Atletico in all competitions in the 2025/26 season, scoring 20 goals and providing 9 assists. The Argentine striker won the 2022 World Cup, the 2022 Finalissima and the 2021 and 2024 Copa America with the national team.
