Arsenal remain keen on Julian Alvarez

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are keeping a close eye on the situation and could look to make a move if the player forces an exit.

Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Arsenal keep a close eye on the situation of Julian Alvarez and Barcelona.

“Now, Atletico are saying they don’t want to sell the player in general, but in case there is a broken relationship between Julian and Atleti, and at some point they decide to sell the player in August, Arsenal could still be interested to the situation and could still keep a close eye on Julian Alvarez”.
