Arsenal have turned focus to signing Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid after Paris Saint-Germain’s block of Bradley Barcola’s proposed move, and the operational shift was largely reported by insiders.
Reports indicate the Gunners now see Alvarez as a key priority target following the Barcola deal collapse, a decision that aligns with their long-term squad plans.
Christos Tzolis remains a £35 million alternative as Arsenal forge ahead with their transfer plans, and the player is still being evaluated for a possible role.
Winger Tzolis holds a ‘final greenlight’ pending as Football365 confirms Arsenal intensify their bid while Alvarez’s transfer deadline works in their favour, and the management is keen to finalise the deal.
The club also had preliminary negotiations with Bruno Guimaraes priced around £50 million, a discussion that may shape the next transfer window.
