"Arsenal Eyes Summer Transfer for Julian Alvarez, Facing Big Release Clause Challenge"

ARSENAL are weighing up a a summer bid for Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez.

Alvarez, 25, has been in impressive form this season with as he has amassed 11 goals and five assists in 28 appearances across all competitions.

According to ESPN , the striker’s displays have intensified transfer interest from the Gunners who considered signing him last summer.

The same source claims the North Londoners kept tabs on the Argentina international as well as Benjamin Sesko, who went on to sign for Manchester United from RB Leipzig, .

sporting director Andrea Berta has strong links with Atleti having spent 12 years working at the club before moving to the Emirates in March.

In fact, it was Berta who negotiated ‘s £82million move to the Wanda Metropolitano from Manchester City in 2024.

It has been reported the Italian director retains a close relationship with the ex- star’s agent Fernando Hidalgo and the rest of his camp.

Nevertheless, the exact nature of the Premier League leaders’ contact is unclear.

But it’s been suggested that Arsenal officials have made informal enquiries to determine whether a deal would be possible in the summer transfer window.

But Alvarez is thought to have an astronomical £433m release clause in his contract.

But sources in Spain suggest Atletico would demand a fee in excess of £87m in the summer market.

Barcelona also hold a strong interest in the Argentine but their ongoing financial difficulties are posing as an obstacle.

Alvarez has amassed a total of 40 goals and 13 assists in 85 appearances with the Madrid giants since his move almost two years ago.
