Arsenal plans to pursue Alvarez after his World Cup campaign
Summary

Arsenal is expected to intensify its efforts to sign Julian Alvarez once he completes his obligations with the Argentina national team at the 2026 World Cup. While Alvarez has had a mixed tournament, he demonstrated his talent in a recent match against Switzerland, reinforcing his status as a key target for the Gunners. Arsenal aims to enhance their squad with at least one high-profile addition, and Alvarez remains among their top priorities. The club faces competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid, both of which have shown interest in the forward. Sources indicate that Arsenal plans to wait until the World Cup concludes to launch more aggressive recruitment efforts for Alvarez.
