IrelandArsenal is attempting to recruit Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid as they prepare to sell several key players, including Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, and Fábio Vieira, in transfers totaling over £70 million. Despite Atlético's refusal to sell Álvarez to Barcelona, the player has expressed a strong desire to join the Spanish champions. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reportedly spoke with Álvarez to convince him to return to the Premier League, but the Argentine remains focused on Barcelona. Meanwhile, Barcelona has already secured Jesus' transfer for £8.6 million and continues to pursue Álvarez. Atlético has also agreed to loan Jonathan David to Juventus with an option to buy. Arsenal is exploring alternative attacking options, such as Iliman Ndiaye from Everton, though Tottenham is close to securing the Senegalese forward for £60 million. Martinelli is expected to join Al-Hilal for a record £56 million, while Vieira is likely to move to Hamburg. Arsenal has signed Christos Tzolis to fill the void left by Trossard.
