Arsenal is now vying for Manchester City attacker Julian Alvarez. This revelation puts them on a list including Chelsea and Atletico Madrid. Alvarez has demonstrated value since joining City for £14 million in July 2022. In 103 appearances the Argentine striker has scored 36 goals and given 18 assists. Among the other prizes City has won thanks to his efforts are two Premier League medals, a Champions League, and an FA Cup. Alvarez scored 19 goals and 13 assists in 54 games last season just alone.
Arsenal Fight With Chelsea For The £77m Rated Manchester City Star
Alvarez is unhappy at City even with his remarkable record. Erling Haaland controls the center striker position, hence Alvarez has little chances to rank as the top No. 9. City writer Sam Lee also reported Alvarez and his family are ready to migrate to a warmer nation. For this reason, Atletico Madrid appeals. Atleti’s manager, Diego Simeone, finds Alvarez to be a fantastic fit for his squad. After Alvaro Morata moved to AC Milan, Atleti needs a new striker, and Alvarez may be the perfect fit.
Atleti does, however, contend with competition from Premier League teams. Long-term Chelsea interest in Alvarez has been evident; now Arsenal is involved. Mikel Arteta thinks Alvarez would be the ideal complement for the Gunners’ lineup. Arteta intends to increase the attacking ability of wingers like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli with Alvarez. Alvarez’s experience and goal-scoring prowess might let Arsenal at last challenge City for the Premier League crown.
Alvarez has city valuations of £60 million, with extra £17 million in add-ons. Their profit would be £63 million net. Although Alvarez’s fee is high, it represents his ability to rank among the best attackers in the world. Arsenal and Chelsea will find it difficult to persuade Alvarez to join, particularly since he could like Spain’s milder temperature.
Other attackers like Ivan Toney and Joshua Zirkzee had piques of interest for Arsenal. Zirkzee has joined Manchester United, however, while Tottenham Hotspur appears closer to acquiring Toney. With these possibilities off the table, Arsenal’s hunt of Alvarez becomes even more important.
From Arsenal’s point of view, getting Alvarez could alter everything. Along with enhancing their offensive, his entrance would send a powerful message to their enemies. Arsenal is clearly ambitious, hence getting Alvarez would be a major declaration of purpose.
