armory Julian Alvarez is 'the only realistic option' at the moment, but he doesn't want to move to London.
cadena ser report The operation to take Alvarez to Barcelona is completely on hold for the time being, and Arsenal would be a more realistic destination.
arsenal realistic option
The website states that the saga surrounding Julian Alvarez is likely to be the biggest story of the beginning of the summer. Barcelona wants to sign him, but Atletico Madrid is opposed. The 26-year-old is also unlikely to try to force a move.
The case has been left somewhat at an impasse, with journalist Pedro Fulana reporting that it is "absolutely stalled" for now. For their part, Atletico believe the Argentine will remain with them next season.
According to middlemen speaking to Cadena SER, this is not an easy situation. Instead, according to Fulton the 'only realistic option' on the table is Arsenal. But the problem is that Alvarez 'doesn't want to go to London' this summer.
If he were to leave Atletico this summer he would prefer to play for Barcelona. Therefore, the gunners are not in his sights.
Gunmen need to explain
Mikel Arteta's side have been interested for some time. Various reports from around the world have indicated that he is the top target for the summer transfer window.
In fact, Sport Witness covered a report two days ago Arsenal were preparing for another big move after already being rejected.
Now it seems that money is not the problem, Julian Alvarez himself is convinced. He doesn't seem that keen on a return to the Premier League after his time at Manchester City.
However, Arsenal remain an attractive option. They are Premier League champions, Champions League finalists and on the rise under Mikel Arteta. He has a lot to offer Argentina, even if he may not be very convincing at the moment.
