Arsenal still waiting on Julian Alvarez to express transfer desire
Arsenal are waiting for Álvarez to declare his plans as Atlético Madrid seek a quick answer and block any sale to Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid has reportedly set a deadline for Julian Alvarez to decide his future, with Arsenal waiting to see if the 26-year-old striker wants to return to the Premier League.
Arsenal has not made an official offer because the club is waiting for Alvarez to express a desire to play in England, according to journalist Juan Furlanich.
Alvarez registered 29 goal contributions last season, and observers believe he could provide the quality needed for the Gunners to compete regularly with elite clubs.
While pursuing the Atletico Madrid forward, the Gunners have opened talks with representatives for Lille's Matias Fernandez-Pardo, who has a £60m asking price.
Pundit Dwight Yorke suggested signing Victor Osimhen would help Arsenal "definitely run away" with the title, though the club continues to weigh attacking options.
