Arsenal remain keen on adding Julian Alvarez to their squad at the end of this season, with the Argentinian potentially entering his final campaign at Atletico Madrid amid growing speculation over his future.
The striker has become the subject of a transfer battle involving Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona over recent months, although Atletico Madrid have consistently maintained that he is not for sale.
Alvarez has established himself as one of the most effective forwards in world football in recent seasons, and he previously impressed in the Premier League during his time at Manchester City, where he demonstrated his versatility and quality in attack.
Arsenal interest in Alvarez
Arsenal are confident that securing his signature would represent a major statement signing, and the club believe he would significantly strengthen their attacking options if a deal can be agreed in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners are also reportedly open to exploring alternative structures in order to facilitate a move, including a potential swap deal if that proves necessary to convince Atletico Madrid to negotiate.
Possible swap deal discussion
According to Team Talk, Arsenal are still prepared to offer Gabriel Martinelli plus a cash adjustment as part of a deal designed to bring Alvarez to the Emirates Stadium during the upcoming transfer window.
The report suggests Arsenal view Alvarez as an upgrade in attacking quality and believe he could elevate the team’s forward line to an even higher level following their recent success.
Even if a swap deal does not materialise, Martinelli is also expected to be made available for transfer at the end of the season as Arsenal consider raising funds and creating space for new attacking reinforcements ahead of another competitive campaign.

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through this link…
I can imagine Jesus, Trosaard, and Nogaard seeking easier opportunities , while the noise around Ben White gets louder.
But Arsenal must add atleast two to three new players in the summer.
A powerful box to box midfielder maybe Lilly Ayycoub
The unsettled Cassinviga, will be hard to ignore
But a powerful and tricky left winger as PSG Khvicha Kvaratskhelia must be on top of the cards
If Simeone is prepared to sell Alvarez the buyer needs to be certain of his fitness
Arsenal should have offered Bournemouth Martinelli plus cash or potentially added Nwaneri into the mix and brought in Semenyo.A player who would have made Arsenal’s end of season far less nail biting.A hugely missed opportunity.
100% agree, my friends and I discuss this all the time.
Also because it seemed he wanted to come to us.
Anyways, it doesn’t seem right to talk about transfers right now!
Just basking in the glory right now
First of all congrats to players, manager, staff on becoming champions,
We must not rest on our laurels,
We must get rid of some players and get some in.
We need to sell kepa, noregard, trossard, martinelle, haveretz, madeuaki..
Get in no 2 goalkeeper, 2 left wingers, back up to saka, back up to rice, top striker..
Suggest players to replace them.
I know Julian is technically gifted and better than Martinelli, however not for the purposed price tag. For a lower price, he would be a direct replacement for Trouserd. But I would take Khvicha of PSG over him anyday
If Madueke would not improve his end product, he’s not better than Nwaneri and Dowman is already knocking. Jesus, Norgard and Martinelli should be moved on along with maybe White and Farnandes from West ham,a replacement for White and a good back up for CF position would make a good summer.
The BS you see on YouTube🤣. I read yesterday that we’re negotiating a £100 million deal with PSG for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
As if they’d sell the world’s best left wing.
REPLACE THEM WITH WHO?
Don’t think Alverez is worth the price being tossed about; don’t see anything in his game worth 100 million or more.
We played them twice in the semi-finals, and I failed to see him impose himself, take over the game, or show anything close to 100 million dollar hype.
I saw more from Gyokeres if I am being honest. Overhyped in my opinion, and not sure how successful he would be in the Premier league a second time around.
