Arsenal Still in Race for Julian Alvarez, Says Journalist Ben Jacobs

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Arsenal remains a potential destination for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, despite a €500 million release clause. Jacobs reports that provisions may allow certain Champions League clubs to sign him for a lower fee, though still expensive. Arsenal signed Viktor Gyokeres last summer but may seek an upgrade. Jacobs states that if there is even a 1% chance of Alvarez moving, Arsenal will pursue it. The article also notes Arsenal's quiet summer transfer window so far, with only backup goalkeeper Illan Meslier arriving and Leandro Trossard departing. Arsenal won the Premier League last season but lost the Champions League final, prompting interest in Alvarez to add attacking variety.
