The Argentine has been one of the best-performing strikers since his move to Atletico from Manchester City<\/a> in the summer of 2024 for \u00a382 million<\/a><\/span>. He recently refused to rule out a summer departure and\u00a0Mundo<\/em> claim that there are three clubs interested in signing him.<\/p>\n Arsenal, Barcelona<\/a> and Paris Saint-Germain are in the mix. The Gunners are a \u2018tempting club\u2019 for the World Cup winning striker, but the 26-year-old does not appear overly enthusiastic about a return to the Premier League<\/a> after his time with Pep Guardiola\u2019s side.<\/p>\n His preference appears to stay in the Spanish top-flight with Barcelona. The Blaugrana are hopeful that Atletico will accept \u00a387 million for the talented striker this summer. PSG are likewise interested, but Alvarez does not seem interested in a move to Ligue 1.<\/p>\n Arsenal have made big investment in the centre-forward department over the last few years. They currently have Kai Havertz<\/a> and Viktor Gyokeres competing for a starting spot, while Gabriel Jesus<\/a> has been an unused substitute on many occasions.<\/p>\n Jesus could be on his way out with his contract expiring at the end of next season. If Arsenal make a serious approach for Alvarez, it could mean that Havertz or Gyokeres could be sold by the hierarchy during this summer\u2019s transfer<\/a> window.<\/p>\n As things stand, a deal could be difficult to pursue for multiple reasons. Alvarez has a clear preference to join Barcelona, who could be prepared to make a huge outlay for his services as they seek a successor to Robert Lewandowski upfront.<\/p>\n If the Blaugrana are unable to afford him, Arsenal could become leading candidates for the striker deemed as \u2018world-class<\/span><\/a>\u2018 by Fifa.com. However, a deal could still depend on whether they can guarantee him a starting spot upfront next term.<\/p>\n Alvarez may not entertain a move unless he is an assured striker upfront. The Argentine would be a fabulous recruit for the Gunners. He has accumulated 48 goals and 17 assists in his one-and-a-half seasons with Diego Simeone\u2019s side in Spain.<\/p>\n He would be an upgrade on Gyokeres and Havertz for the north London heavyweights. Alvarez is a very mobile striker who can play as an attacking midfielder or out wide. However, his main strength is upfront with his goalscoring and creativity.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
