Arsenal have not abandoned their interest in Julian Alvarez and are reportedly preparing to revive their efforts to sign the Argentina international during the current transfer window.
Alvarez helped Argentina defeat Switzerland to reach the World Cup semi-final, but despite continued speculation surrounding his future, Atletico Madrid remain firm in their stance that the forward is not available for transfer. His performances have continued to attract attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Arsenal revive transfer pursuit
Barcelona and Real Madrid have both attempted to sign Alvarez during this transfer window, but Atletico Madrid have maintained that the attacker is not for sale. The Spanish club have remained consistent in their position despite interest from several leading sides.
Alvarez is believed to feel that the time has come to move to a new club, with Barcelona reportedly his preferred destination this summer. However, Atletico Madrid have made it clear they will not sanction a transfer unless the player’s release clause is met, making any potential deal difficult to complete.
Gunners seek attacking reinforcements
Following the conclusion of the World Cup, Alvarez is expected to push for a move, while Arsenal are hoping to persuade him to choose the Emirates Stadium instead. The club are continuing to monitor the situation closely as they assess their attacking options for the remainder of the transfer window.
According to Metro Sport, Arsenal are set to resume their pursuit after interest appeared to cool over the past few weeks. The report suggests the club are once again prepared to explore the possibility of bringing the Argentina international to north London.
With Leandro Trossard expected to leave the club, Arsenal are looking to strengthen their attacking options before the transfer window closes. Alvarez has emerged as one of the players they are prepared to pursue if the opportunity becomes available and the forward signals a willingness to consider a move away from Atletico Madrid.

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.

Would be nice but I’d always have the feeling that he will be off to Barca in the next transfer window and that he wouldn’t be 100% committed.
Why waste time on a player that doesn’t want to be with you? Watching the player last season, you could see he’s a complete forward, more complete than what we have, but the fact that his heart is set on Baca is a problem. It’s the same reservation I have for the signing of Bruno, he’s a complete midfielder, dynamic and different from what we have, but the problem is the fact that he once rejected us when he was still younger and now, he’s looking at 29 in a couple of months, so getting him for quoted price is crazy, unforgettable and senseless from the business point of view.🤞
He has repeatedly stated that he wants to sign for Barcelona.
He has NO interest in Arsenal.
All Athletico Madrid is doing is using Arsenal to encourage Barcelona to up their bid.
And Berta is obliging them – perhaps out of loyalty to Athletico.
We are going to waste so much time on this and before we know it we are running around making silly and expensive panic buys.
Berta is not the transfer guru people think he is…
You can’t sit on the comfy of your sofa and make such claims. Berta has enough information than you do.
Have you signed a player before?
Of course I haven’t signed a player before.
But when a player comes out in the press and says he has no interest in returning to the Premiership and his only priority is to play for Barcelona then it is a safe assumption to think that Berta is wasting valuable time.
His transfer record is bang average compared to Edu so I would not even trust him to get that right…
You’re free to say what you want about Berta. I was never the biggest fan of Edu Gasper while he was here. But I had clearly definable reasons for that.
You said Berta is not a transfer guru but stated no reason why
I can not see it.
