Julian Alvarez considers Arsenal move amid Atletico Madrid situation

Julian Alvarez is reportedly shifting his focus towards a potential move to Arsenal, as Atletico Madrid blocks any chance of joining Barcelona. Alvarez has missed two consecutive training sessions, citing illness. Recent developments indicate that he is contemplating leaving Atletico for Arsenal, with a resolution expected by Friday. Arsenal has suggested they would utilize Alvarez in his preferred position, potentially making a lucrative offer that surpasses their record transfer fee. With both Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus attracting Atletico's interest, a part-exchange deal could also be on the table.
