Arsenal has reportedly made contact with Atlético Madrid to explore a potential deal for Julián Álvarez, with a direct meeting between club officials taking place in London.
North Bank NewsAccording to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal recently initiated discussions with Atlético Madrid regarding the transfer conditions for forward Julián Álvarez. A direct meeting between representatives from both clubs, including Atlético director Mateu Alemany, was held in London to address the potential move.
Despite Arsenal's interest, the current asking price for Julián Álvarez is understood to be deemed too high. Furthermore, Romano reports that the player himself has not yet expressed a willingness to move to England, having previously favored a switch to Barcelona. While these factors present significant hurdles, Arsenal did make an attempt to ascertain the feasibility of a deal for the highly-rated attacker.
