Arsenal are reportedly monitoring Julian Alvarez after the Manchester City striker hinted at a potential move. The 24-year-old has been a success at The Etihad, winning back-to-back Premier League titles, the Champions League, and the FA Cup, along with a World Cup and Copa America with Argentina.
Despite playing substantial minutes last season, Alvarez has expressed frustration over being left out of key games. Following Argentina’s exit from the Olympics, Alvarez revealed he would consider his future, catching the attention of Arsenal, according to The Mirror. While the Gunners admire Alvarez, they may hesitate to meet City’s £80 million asking price. However, Arsenal might make an exception for Alvarez and could fund the move by selling academy graduates Reiss Nelson and Eddie Nketiah, who have been linked to Leicester and Marseille, respectively.
Pep Guardiola has previously stated he wouldn’t prevent an unhappy player from leaving, and Alvarez is also attracting interest from Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Atletico Madrid. Reflecting on his situation, Alvarez said, “Last season, I was one of the City players with the most minutes on the team. But it’s true; in the end, you don’t like being left out of important matches. You want to contribute.”
