Julian Alvarez makes transfer decision amid Chelsea & Arsenal interest

18 February 2026 - 19:50

Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez has a clear stance on his future amid interest from Chelsea and Arsenal, according to Sport.

Arsenal star has signed new £300,000 per week contract

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Wolves, Bukayo Saka starts

The World Cup winner had a sensational debut season with Atletico last term. He netted 29 goals and provided eight assists in all competitions.

He has not been at his best during the ongoing campaign, but has still managed 12 goals and six assists for the La Liga giants thus far.

Sport today claim that Chelsea and Arsenal are eager to bring the Argentine back to the Premier League during the summer transfer window.

However, Alvarez is not necessarily keen on the prospect and has his sights on continuing in La Liga. He has his sights on a dream move to Barcelona.

There is no guarantee that could happen this summer, considering the Blaugrana have Financial Fair Play issues with La Liga to deal with.

It seems unlikely that the Catalan giants will afford Alvarez. Diego Simeone's side are eyeing at least €100 million to sanction his sale.
