Arsenal has reached a preliminary agreement with Atlético de Madrid to close the transfer of Julián Álvarez by paying 50 million euros and including Viktor Gyökeres. Alvarez is the main target of Mikel Arteta to rebuild the Gunners' offensive.

The negotiation between both clubs is on hold pending approval from the 26-year-old forward, who prefers a move to FC Barcelona, delaying his return to the Premier League. The saga continues.

Agreement between Arsenal and Atlético for Julián Álvarez

The deal includes a fixed financial compensation of 50 million euros and the direct transfer of Viktor Gyökeres to the Spanish side. The 28-year-old Swedish striker, under contract in London until June 2030, scored 21 goals and provided 3 assists last season when Mikel Arteta's team won the Premier League and reached the UEFA Champions League final, losing to Paris Saint-Germain.

Julián Álvarez formally requested to leave the Madrid team after a tactical disagreement with Diego Pablo Simeone. Atlético accepted to negotiate his sale to the British club after the attacker scored 20 goals and 9 assists in the previous season. The Argentine forward's contract at the Wanda Metropolitano runs until June 2030, giving the Spanish club a strong position.

Mikel Arteta believes that the former Manchester City player's profile is essential to enhance the collective attacking quality of the Gunners. The Arsenal's sports management aims to make the Argentine forward the main reference in their offensive project for the upcoming years.

Atlético's refusal to sell the striker to FC Barcelona

The main obstacle delaying the transfer's confirmation is the player's desire to join FC Barcelona. However, Atlético de Madrid's management categorically rejected a 100 million euro offer from Barcelona a few weeks ago, firm in their decision not to strengthen a direct rival in LaLiga.

Facing reluctance to negotiate with the Catalan club, the top officials at the Metropolitano pointed to the player's release clause set at 500 million euros for any transfer within the Spanish competition. This firm stance blocks the path to Camp Nou unless Barcelona meets the full release clause amount.

Player's stance and Gunners' strategy

Despite his preference for Barcelona, the Argentine international doesn't rule out a return to English football if options in Spain run out. Barcelona's inability to meet Atlético's financial demands keeps the Premier League proposal as the only viable alternative.

Arsenal is actively engaging with Julián Álvarez's representatives to persuade him to join the London squad. The following weeks of the summer transfer window will be critical in determining whether the forward accepts Mikel Arteta's offer or if the signing attempt is definitively halted due to a lack of agreement with the player.
