This changes everything.” Chelsea earn a massive €87M from the Champions League, giving the club a huge financial boost ahead of the summer window
Julian Alvarez has reportedly asked his agent to engineer a move to Arsenal amid growing unhappiness at Atletico Madrid. The former Manchester City forward’s situation at the Spanish club has become a major talking point, with speculation mounting about a potential summer exit.
Arsenal could be the perfect destination for the Argentine, particularly given their ongoing search for striking options. Alvarez would bring valuable Premier League experience from his time at Manchester City, making him an attractive proposition for the Gunners.
His reported discontent at the Metropolitano has caught the attention of several European giants. While Barcelona remains his dream destination and has admired him for some time, their well-documented financial difficulties make any deal extremely complicated for Atletico to accept.
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have also been contacted through intermediaries, though Alvarez is understood to have a carefully curated list of clubs he’d be willing to join.
Arsenal have demonstrated serious interest by sending scouts to monitor him over the past fortnight. The club’s executives have held internal meetings to discuss what it would take to bring the 25-year-old to North London this summer.
Interestingly, both Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus have been floated as possible makeweights in any potential deal. Arsenal would reportedly be open to parting ways with either Brazilian forward in 2026, and the possibility of including one in a swap arrangement for Alvarez has been actively explored.
