Arsenal have ‘made contact’ to sign 20-goal ace, ‘direct meeting’ held in London

Arsenal have contacted Atletico Madrid to discuss a move for Julian Alvarez.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs met in London, and Arsenal spoke with Atletico Madrid director Mateu Alemany.

Julian Alvarez could join Arsenal

However, the asking price is too high, and Arsenal have not agreed to pay yet. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can reach a compromise and agree on a reasonable fee for the player.

Romano wrote on X: “Arsenal made contact with Atlético Madrid to discuss Julián Álvarez deal conditions. Direct meeting took place in London with Atléti director Mateu Alemany. Price currently too high + Julián never opened doors to England so far as wanted to join Barça… but AFC tried.”

The 26-year-old striker wants to join Barcelona, but the move to the Spanish champions seems unlikely. The player has not made it clear whether he wants to return to England this summer. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Arsenal could use another quality striker, and the 26-year-old would be an excellent investment for them. He is at the peak of his career and a key player for club and country. He scored 20 goals last season, and he could add a new dimension to the Arsenal attack. He has played in England with Manchester City in the past, and he will be able to settle in quickly and make an immediate impact.

Alvarez could transform Arsenal’s attack

Arsenal should do everything in their power to convince the player to return to the Premier League. They will hope to dominate English football and do well in European competition as well. They need elite players like Alvarez in order to compete with top clubs regularly.
