Julián Álvarez, a 26-year-old Argentine forward, is once again linked to the Arsenal transfer market after Barcelona has made progress with Gabriel Jesus, the attacker from the London team. This movement frees up a spot in Mikel Arteta's forward line, although Álvarez's signing is not yet finalized, with the player still considering Barcelona as his preferred destination.

Julián Álvarez advances towards Arsenal

Gabriel Jesus's move to Barcelona could alter Arsenal's offensive planning in the final stretch of the market. The English club had been in talks for Álvarez, and Atletico Madrid is willing to negotiate his departure with the London club, but the final decision also rests on the striker.

Arsenal had considered a deal for Álvarez valued at around 120 million pounds, a figure that reflects the economic conditions set by Atletico to allow the Argentine's departure. However, Atletico maintains its refusal to negotiate directly with Barcelona.

The situation is complicated by Álvarez's stance. The forward has expressed his preference for playing for Barcelona, while recent reports suggest he has not shown the same willingness towards Arsenal. This difference between Atletico's position and the player's desire keeps the deal open, not solely dependent on freeing up space in London.

Gabriel Jesus opens space in Arsenal's forward line

Barcelona is negotiating the acquisition of Gabriel Jesus, a 29-year-old forward whose contract with Arsenal ends in 2027. The operation is estimated at around 15 million euros plus variables, according to information released this Sunday.

The departure of the Brazilian would reduce the offensive alternatives available to Arteta and could pave the way for Arsenal to pursue a higher-cost striker like Álvarez. However, there is no confirmation that Gabriel Jesus's departure automatically implies a definitive offer for the Argentine.

For Barcelona, Gabriel Jesus represents an immediate alternative due to the difficulty of signing Álvarez from Atletico. The Catalan club maintains interest in the Argentine even after initiating the operation for the Arsenal attacker.

Atletico maintains its blockade against Barcelona

Atletico Madrid has stated its unwillingness to negotiate Álvarez with Barcelona, while leaving open the possibility of considering an offer from Arsenal. This difference explains why the Brazilian forward's move could directly impact the pursuit of the Argentine.

Álvarez, who returned on August 30 to Atletico's training after being absent for a few days due to illness, still awaits a decision on his future less than 48 hours before the market closes. Atletico expects him to remain if no solution arises.

The next step will be to see if Arsenal capitalizes on the space left by Gabriel Jesus to launch a new bid for Julián Álvarez. Barcelona remains interested, but Atletico's veto on negotiating with the Catalan side positions Arsenal as the main alternative path before the window shuts.
