Atletico Madrid have made it clear they don’t want to sell Julian Alvarez<\/a> to Barcelona this summer, according to reports in Spain.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> have also been linked with a move for the former Manchester City striker, who has scored 49 goals in 106 appearances for Atleti since joining the club in 2024.<\/p>\n

The Argentinian striker has a reported release clause of \u20ac500m(\u00a3432m) and have warned any interested parties they’ll have to match their valuation.<\/p>\n

AS<\/a> claims Atleti view it ‘as national importance’ not to sell Alvarez to a La Liga rival this summer, with Arsenal ‘set to enquire’ about the 26-year-old.<\/p>\n

Atleti’s transfer stance seemingly hands Arsenal a boost, but even then, Diego Simeone’s side are intent on keeping Alvarez at the Metropolitano.<\/p>\n

Gunners’ sporting director Andrea Berta is a big admirer of the Argentinian and signed him for Atleti during his time at the club.<\/p>\n

The now Arsenal transfer chief brokered the \u00a381.8 million transfer with Manchester City in 2024, but despite his relationship with his former club, Atleti ‘will not negotiate with any club.’<\/p>\n

The report claims the Gunners and PSG have been in touch with the player’s representatives and are hoping a deal could be struck in the region of \u00a3130m.<\/p>\n

Both the Champions League finalists would have the financial resources to do a deal, but Atleti have made it clear they don’t want to sell.<\/p>\n

The report also claims the former Manchester City man has not expressed a desire to leave the club and is key part of the club’s plans.<\/p>\n

Alvarez signed a six-year deal with Atletico Madrid and his current deal runs out in the summer of 2030.<\/p>\n

The club have recently hit out at transfer speculation linking the striker with a move to Barcelona, posting a series of tongue in cheek transfer stories on their social media channels, claiming the likes of Lamine Yamal and Raphinha were on the way to Atleti.<\/p>\n
