Dreams of Barcelona. Álvarez could join Arsenal with a special condition
Arsenal are considering a move for Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, but the potential transfer could include an unusual condition. According to TEAMtalk, the Argentine's representatives have proposed adding a special clause to the agreement that would allow the player to move to Barcelona in the future.
Álvarez's camp remains in contact with Arsenal, and the forward himself is interested in a potential move to London. However, his long-standing dream is to play for Barcelona one day.
That is why the striker's representatives have been discussing a mechanism with the English club that would give Álvarez the opportunity to move to Camp Nou at a later date. Arsenal are willing to consider such an option, but only if they receive financial protection for their investment. The London club want to receive significantly more than the amount they would pay for the Argentine.
Meanwhile, Atlético have no intention of selling their star to Barcelona. The Madrid club have indicated that, in theory, they would only agree to the player's departure for €150 million. The Catalan side previously offered around €100 million.
