Arsenal Offer TWO Stars in Bold Julian Alvarez Swap

Arsenal are stepping up interest in Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez ahead of a possible summer move.

Sources say the Gunners are willing to include first-team players to strengthen their proposal.

Intermediaries earlier alerted Arsenal to Alvarez’s potential availability during discreet discussions.

That situation has now progressed, with senior Arsenal officials debating his long-term fit.

Alvarez is reportedly frustrated at Atletico, sparking interest from several elite European clubs.

Barcelona remain his preferred destination, though financial constraints complicate any serious bid.

Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have also sounded out his camp through intermediaries.

Arsenal sporting chief Andrea Berta is fully aware of the forward’s circumstances.

Berta originally played a key role in bringing Alvarez to Atletico Madrid.

Sources confirm Arsenal scouts watched Alvarez in person within the past two weeks.

Internal talks have focused on the cost and structure of a possible deal.

Financially, Arsenal can compete comfortably with Europe’s top clubs.

However, the Gunners are prepared to go further to gain an advantage.

Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli have been mentioned as potential makeweights.

Both attackers have been loosely linked with exits over the last 18 months.

Atletico have previously tracked both Brazilian forwards.

Arsenal are not forcing exits but may consider sales in 2026.

Including one player could ease negotiations for Alvarez.

Atletico are bracing for a difficult summer of key decisions.

Alvarez’s future is now central to their long-term planning.
