On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, Arsenal has designed an economic and sports strategy to convince Julián Álvarez, the 26-year-old forward from Atlético de Madrid. It is the great desire of Mikel Arteta,

The London club offers the striker a salary of 25 million euros gross per year—doubling his current income—to make him the offensive reference of Mikel Arteta's project, in a transfer structured at 80 million euros plus the inclusion of Viktor Gyökeres.

Mikel Arteta's Sports Plan to Seduce Julián Álvarez

Mikel Arteta has personally undertaken the efforts to persuade the Argentine international to accept his return to the Premier League. The Arsenal coach has conveyed to the player that he will assume the role of the main star in the gunner attack, in a squad that has just won the English league title and reached the Champions League final in the 2025/2026 season.

To maintain that competitive status, Arsenal has reinforced the squad with the arrival of Bruno Guimarães for the midfield and the confirmed addition of Ezri Konsa for 50 million pounds for the defense. Arteta aims for Álvarez to be the crucial piece in the forefront of the scheme, overcoming the player's doubts about returning to reside in England.

Atlético de Madrid's Position and the Player's Reluctance

Atlético de Madrid prefers to transfer him to English football rather than to a direct rival in LaLiga, after definitively vetoing the option to sell the forward to FC Barcelona. The Atlético board approves of the proposal of 80 million euros combined with Gyökeres's transfer, but the operation depends on the player giving his approval to travel to London.

Although Álvarez's initial desire was to join Barcelona, Arsenal's offer represents the only way out with the backing of the Madrid team in this final stretch of the summer transfer market. The British club is confident that the salary proposal of 25 million gross and Arteta's project will tip the balance before the end of negotiations.

The Arsenal executives and Mikel Arteta will hold a virtual meeting with Álvarez's agent in the next 48 hours. In this meeting, the London club will present the final details of the contract to try to finalize the signing before Atlético de Madrid considers its squad complete for the start of the season.
