The visit was initially portrayed by sources close to the <em>Rojiblancos<\/em> as being related to a move for Nicolas Jackson, but the report claims Alvarez was also discussed.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"template__newsletter-inline-banner-form-combo-widget\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<p><img id=\"subscribe-img\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nThanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>As per the story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/team\/atletico-madrid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Atletico<\/a> informed the Gunners they would consider offers in excess of \u00a3120 million for the striker. While the La Liga giants remain unwilling to negotiate with Barcelona, they are prepared to listen to proposals from Arsenal should Alvarez decide to return to the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/team\/arsenal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Arsenal<\/a> are said to be gearing up to submit a formal bid in the final days of the transfer window if the player gives the green light. The Gunners also believe Atletico would be flexible over the structure of the deal, although the striker&#8217;s decision remains the key factor.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Alvarez joined Atletico Madrid from Manchester City in a deal worth \u20ac75 million in the summer of 2024. During his two seasons at the club so far, the 26-year-old has played 107 games for Atletico in all competitions, recording 49 goals and 17 assists to his name.<\/p>\n<p>However, the player appears to have reached the end of the road at the Metropolitano after declaring his intention to leave while representing Argentina at the World Cup this summer.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Why Arsenal need Julian Alvarez<\/h2>\n<p>The Gunners&#8217; interest in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/football\/news-atletico-madrid-release-new-statement-julian-alvarez-s-transfer-barcelona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Julian Alvarez<\/a> is easy to understand given what he would bring to Mikel Arteta&#8217;s attack. The Argentine is a complete forward who combines relentless pressing, intelligent movement and clinical finishing, making him an ideal fit for a side that relies on winning the ball high up the pitch and creating chances through quick combinations.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike a traditional No. 9, Alvarez can operate across the frontline. He is equally effective as a central striker, second striker or wide forward, giving Arteta the tactical flexibility to rotate his front line without sacrificing intensity. His link-up play, off-the-ball runs and ability to create as well as score would provide Arsenal with another reliable attacking option.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, the 26-year-old has already shown he can deliver on the biggest stage. He won the World Cup with Argentina and claimed the Champions League with Manchester City. Adding these to his Premier League experience, it becomes obvious that the striker would be a huge addition for the Gunners.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\" title=\"like article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\" title=\"dislike article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Nived Zenith<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/football\/news-arsenal-learn-transfer-fee-pay-sign-julian-alvarez-atletico-madrid-reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal have reportedly been informed that they would need to cough up more than \u00a3120 million to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez before the transfer window closes this summer.
