Diego Simeone recently made a very important statement to all media outlets: Julian Alvarez is not for sale and is a key player in the team's lineup.

The situation is very clear The club took a decision which Miguel Angel explained well. We are very happy with Julian. From the sporting side of things, we will help him keep growing and improving so that he can give us what he has given us over these two years at the club so far, which was a mountain of things.

Alvarez himself came out to talk about his future with Atletico Madrid at the last World Cup in North America, explaining his desire to leave Atletico Madrid and live his dream without mentioning which jersey he wanted to wear.

I spoke with people at the club, with those I had to speak with and the best thing for everyone is a transfer and I want to fulfill my dream It's not the time to talk about this, but I also can't hide ⁠it. I try to ⁠be an honest person.

Arsenal also want to sign Julian Alvarez

Arsenal have had their eyes on the 26-year-old for quite some time, and they're actively searching for attacking reinforcement following their failed pursuit of Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior. There have even been suggestions that the north London club might be open to using Viktor Gyökeres—their £64 million acquisition—as part of a player-plus-cash offer for Álvarez, who made the switch from Manchester City to Atlético in 2024 for a fee of £82 million.
