Julian Alvarez has just spoken about what his future could hold, as Arsenal continue to be linked as a possible transfer destination in the summer.
Alvarez is the talk of North London right now, having just dismantled Tottenham in the Champions League.
While those in N17 are nursing their wounds, Arsenal fans are relishing the idea of having a player like Alvarez at the club.
Fortunately, it’s possible, as Andrea Berta is eager to sign Alvarez after being the figure behind the Argentine’s transfer from Manchester City to Atletico Madrid.
What was a wish could now be reality, as the striker was very open when asked about where he could be playing next season.
What is the highest fee you would pay to sign Julian Alvarez for Arsenal?
Is he worth more than Declan Rice?👀
Julian Alvarez is unsure about his Atletico Madrid future as Arsenal interest grows
Alvarez is wanted by Barcelona, but Arsenal won’t give up easily.
It was Berta who facilitated the 26-year-old’s last move, and the sporting director will be hoping history can repeat itself after the forward’s latest comment.
Speaking to the media after Atletico’s 5-2 win over Tottenham, as relayed by Fabrizio Romano, Alvarez admitted that his future is uncertain.
Asked, “Will you be at Atleti next season?”
Alvarez replied, “I don’t know. Maybe yes, maybe no. I have nothing to say other than I’m happy.”
He then made it clear that things spoken about on social media are ‘nothing’, but Berta will be focusing on his openness about possibly leaving Madrid.
Diego Simeone also talks about Alvarez’s future
If Alvarez’s comments weren’t inspiring enough, then Diego Simeone’s that followed were.
How important do you think it is that Arsenal sign Julian Alvarez before the World Cup?
Post World Cup inflation is real 😳
Simeone has been fiery about Alvarez before, but on this occasion, he was only able to express his hope that he does not lose his striker in the summer.
“I see Julian Alvarez very happy to be here. Hopefully, he can stay. If we look at the teams he played for, Atleti is where he scored the most goals.”
With 45 goals in only 98 appearances for Atletico, it’s unsurprising that Simeone wants his talisman to stay, but interest will be there in abundance in the summer.
Arsenal’s objective is clearer than ever: push all the way for Alvarez, who could transform Mikel Arteta’s attack.
