'Very interested' Arsenal have offer lined up for January window
Summarised by MatchPal
Arsenal maintain interest in Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez and plan to make a January move after he parted ways with his agent.
Arsenal have kept tabs on Atlético Madrid's Julián Álvarez since summer, when he wanted to leave but preferred Barcelona. The 26-year-old Argentine rejected a move to the Catalan club after Atlético refused to sell.
Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta and manager Mikel Arteta held repeated talks with the striker in August, but he only wanted Barcelona. Álvarez has now parted ways with his agent Fernando Hidalgo and is looking to rebuild his image with a new strategy to leave Atlético. Arsenal are positioned to move in January with an offer ready.
