Arsenal's interest in Julian Alvarez continues, with the North London club reportedly awaiting 'encouragement' from the player's camp following initial contact last week, according to gunnerblog. The striker was recently subjected to whistling and insults from Atletico Madrid fans, potentially indicating a strained relationship with the club's supporters.

Atletico Madrid are understood to be open to a deal with Arsenal for Alvarez, but they are holding out for a substantial fee. The Spanish club is reportedly seeking around €150 million for the player's services, a figure that would represent a significant investment for the Gunners.

Arsenal's strategy appears to involve gauging Alvarez's willingness to make the move before escalating their efforts. The club's continued pursuit suggests he remains a key target as they look to strengthen their squad.
