Arsenal is prepared to extend their pursuit of Man City players as club officials engage in discussions with the player’s representatives regarding a deal worth over £70 million.
Arsenal have initiated discussions with Julian Alvarez’s representatives to inquire about his current situation.
The Gunners are exploring options for a new right-sided forward and are considering a potential move for the 24-year-old Argentine player.
Initial enquiries from Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, and the Saudi Pro League for Alvarez have been turned down by Manchester City.
Alvarez’s agent has been in talks with Atletico regarding a possible transfer, and negotiations are still ongoing as the Spanish club remains interested in securing a deal.
Arsenal set to make another move for discontented Manchester City player.
Arsenal has a history of acquiring City players who have fallen out of favor with Pep Guardiola.
Mikel Arteta has already successfully brought in Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to The Emirates, and now there is speculation that Arsenal may pursue Alvarez as well.
Despite City’s reluctance to part with Alvarez, negotiations are ongoing through intermediaries.
It is rumored that a deal worth at least £70 million plus additional payments would be necessary to persuade City to agree.
Both Arteta and Edu are reportedly keen on Alvarez and would be eager to finalize a deal if the opportunity arises.
Currently, Arsenal has only reached out to Alvarez’s representatives and has not yet engaged with Manchester City or presented an official offer.
However, they are actively observing the developments and consider Alvarez to be a perfect fit for their right-forward position.
Additionally, Arsenal is seeking a central midfielder as they prepare for another attempt at the Premier League title.
Reports suggest that they are nearing an agreement for Mikel Merino, with the Real Sociedad player keen to join Arteta’s team.
