Arsenal have joined Chelsea and Atletico Madrid in the race to sign Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez, according to reports.
Alvarez has proven to be a great signing for Man City since joining the club for £14million in July 2022. The centre-forward has managed 36 goals and 18 assists in 103 games for City, helping Pep Guardiola’s side win trophies such as the Premier League (x2), Champions League and FA Cup, among others.
Last season, Alvarez registered 19 goals and 13 assists in 54 games. That is a very good record, though the Argentina star is frustrated that he will not become City’s main No 9 while Erling Haaland is at the Etihad.
Atletico Madrid are the side who have been most heavily linked with Alvarez in recent months. Their manager, Diego Simeone, views him as a fantastic potential addition to the Atleti forward line.
And the Spanish giants are in desperate need of a new striker after losing Spain captain Alvaro Morata to AC Milan recently.
