Unbelievable twist! Spanish giants are personally pushing their star to England
The Julián Álvarez saga has taken a turn that nobody saw coming.
Details: According to ESPN Argentina, Atlético Madrid are doing everything possible to push Julián Álvarez to Arsenal. The Madrid club, where Diego Simeone has already sanctioned the sale, wants to resolve the Argentine's future by Friday.
The Rojiblancos are ready to sell the 26-year-old for around €130 million to any club except Barcelona, and relations with the striker have reached breaking point: after the 2-2 draw with Villarreal, Álvarez left the pitch without greeting the fans, who had whistled him throughout the match. The Gunners, in turn, are preparing a package that could include Viktor Gyökeres, Gabriel Jesus and cash, and the player himself has reportedly become more open to moving to London.
Now everything depends on how quickly the clubs can agree on the structure of a record-breaking deal. It's worth noting that Álvarez needs just one more goal to reach 50 for Atlético, having joined from Manchester City for €75 million in the summer of 2024.
Reminder: London calling? No, thanks! Álvarez turns down Arsenal despite Atletico's green light.
