Julian Alvarez makes transfer decision amid Chelsea & Arsenal interest

The Italian joined the Gunners from Chelsea during the 2023 January transfer window and he has since been a valuable player in the squad.

The 32-year-old has stood out in the big games with his ball control and the Gunners are keen to reward him with a fresh contract soon.

Jorginho's current deal expires at the end of June. Arsenal have a one-year option, but they prefer to negotiate a new deal on fresh terms.

The experienced ace will be offered a contract until June 2026 with an option for another year. There could be a promise of a coaching role too.

Regardless of this, the Gunners are expected to sign another marquee midfielder with Thomas Partey touted to leave the club soon.

The Ghanaian has had an injury-plagued season with the Gunners. The club are prepared to sanction his sale when the transfer window reopens.
