Arsenal targets Atlético striker Alvarez and Juventus midfielder Yildiz

Summary

Arsenal is reportedly focused on signing Atlético Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, as sources indicate the club is in a strong position despite interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid. Atlético has rejected a £130 million bid from Real for the 26-year-old. Barcelona’s unwillingness to exceed €100 million may open the door for Arsenal. Additionally, Arsenal has expressed interest in Juventus midfielder Kenan Yildiz, who is currently not for sale. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is reportedly interested in Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori, anticipating a potential deal under the management of Jose Mourinho, who previously coached Calafiori at Roma.
