This week, representatives of London's Arsenal held closed-door talks with the agents of Atletico Madrid's 26-year-old Argentinian striker Julian Alvarez.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to TEAMtalk.
According to the source, the two sides have reached a mutual understanding, and Alvarez's transfer to Arsenal is practically complete.
Despite interest from Barcelona and Chelsea, Arsenal decided to act quickly, which allowed the club to succeed in negotiations. One of the key factors in the successful completion of the deal was Arsenal's willingness to meet all the requirements of both Alvarez and Atletico. This concerned both financial terms and ensuring the smooth registration of players, which could have created difficulties for Chelsea and Barcelona.
The source claims that Alvarez eagerly accepted Arsenal's offer because he had long dreamed of returning to England to compete for trophies. This season, he has played 44 games for Atletico, scored 17 goals and provided nine assists. His contract with the club runs until 2030, and according to Transfermarkt, his market value is 90 million euros.
