Arsenal are the only ‘realistic’ option to complete a deal for Julian Alvarez, but is is reported the Atletico Madrid star has no interest in making a move to the Emirates Stadium.. Alvarez only has eyes for Barcelona<\/a> if he is to leave the Spanish capital, it is claimed.<\/p>\n

The Argentina international is not considering a move to London, and the most likely scenario is that he remains with Atletico next season, according to reports in Spain<\/a>. Alvarez is not expected to attempt to force a move to Camp Nou and Atleti would prefer not to deal with the Catalan club after recent events.<\/p>\n

The report claims that key intermediaries describe any deal for Alvarez to move to Barcelona as very complicated. Any transfer is at a ‘standstill’.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Barcelona appear to retain some confidence in their ability to land Alvarez<\/a>. The Blaugrana anticipated Atletico’s reluctance and planned to offer some days of respite to monitor how the situation develops.<\/p>\n

The La Liga champions have no intention of exploring alternatives unless an unexpected turn in the chase for Alvarez arises. They have rejected a move for Victor Osimhen, who has also been linked to Atletico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arsenal are also interested in AFC Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi this summer. The 19-year-old impressed during his debut season in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
