Arsenal target Julian Alvarez has revealed that he remains very happy at Atletico Madrid following their Champions League win over Spurs.
The Gunners remain on the hunt for a new attacker in the summer, and the Argentine has emerged as one of their key targets.
Agree or disagree: Julian Alvarez should be Arsenal’s primary target this summer – look what he did to Spurs!
The 26-year-old proved across both legs against Tottenham why he remains one of Europe’s best attackers, with three goals in the tie.
But for now, the attacker seems happy in the Spanish capital, despite interest from both FC Barcelona and Arsenal.
Arsenal target Julian Alvarez is happy at Atletico Madrid
Arsenal target Julian Alvarez is happy at Atletico Madrid after being asked about his future following his team’s win over Spurs.
The striker is expected to be one of the hottest names in the summer transfer window, with several major European clubs chasing him.
Arsenal are keen on Alvarez, with Andrea Berta prepared to sign him for the second time, having been the man who brought him to Madrid in 2024.
When asked about his stance on remaining at Atletico, Alvarez said, as relayed by Fabrizio Romano: “Happy at Atletico! Yes.
Imagine you are Andrea Berta. Who is your top target for Arsenal in the summer transfer window?
“I want to thank the fans for their support, for coming all the way here. You’re always with us everywhere. Thank you for always being there, and let’s go for more, all together.”
Come the summer, it will be interesting to see how Alvarez will then feel about a move away, especially if Arsenal were to come knocking.
Alvarez may feel that he has unfinished business in the Premier League, having struggled to produce his best form at Manchester City.
Spanish media were so impressed by Julian Alvarez vs Tottenham
Alvarez dominated Spurs over the two legs, producing three goals and two assists, which surely will have impressed the Gunners.
The Spanish media were so impressed by Alvarez, and this morning they have been discussing his display against Spurs in the second leg.
Diario AS gave him three stars out of three and wrote: “Even when the match is uncomfortable, with a lot of hard work behind it, he lets his class shine.
“He scored a fantastic goal, controlling the ball and finishing with a shot that nestled into the top corner.”
Meanwhile, Marca gave the striker a 9/10 rating and said: “He’s going to make history with Atletico.
“He’s already the second-highest scorer for the club in the Champions League and it doesn’t look like he’s going to stop there.”
Arsenal should be trying to break the bank to bring the striker back to England and complete Mikel Arteta’s attack.
