Julian Alvarez tempted to join Arsenal?

Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez is tempted by the prospect of joining Arsenal during the summer transfer window, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The World Cup winner has been a key player for the La Liga giants this campaign and he has already made 27 goal contributions for them.

The striker is open to pursuing a bigger challenge elsewhere and reports claim that Barcelona are his preferred destination at the current point.

However, the La Liga giants may not afford his signature amid their financial woes. They have had Financial Fair Play restrictions for a while.

This could open the door for potential suitors and reports claim that the Gunners and Paris Saint-Germain are lining up moves for him too.

Alvarez previously had good success with Man City in the Premier League and the prospect of returning to England with Arsenal could be tempting.

The Gunners are unlikely to land him on the cheap and it could take a staggering fee of more than £120 million to prise him away this summer.
