MADRID — Atlético Madrid have reportedly informed Julian Alvarez and his representatives that the club is not prepared to negotiate with Barcelona over a potential transfer for the Argentine forward, according to sources cited by BBC Sport.
Atlético, however, are understood to be open to selling Alvarez to Arsenal, with direct discussions between the two clubs already underway.
Talks between Atlético Madrid and Arsenal over a potential club-to-club agreement are reportedly progressing positively. According to journalist Sami Mokbel, if Alvarez gives Arsenal the green light to proceed with the move in the coming days, negotiations could advance quickly.
Alvarez is regarded as one of Europe’s leading forwards, and his potential arrival would represent a major addition to Arsenal’s attacking options.
The next key step is now understood to be Alvarez’s decision. If the Argentine striker approves the move to Arsenal, the two clubs could move swiftly toward reaching an agreement.
Arsenal fans could be in for a major transfer development in the coming days.
