Arsenal get new Julian Alvarez transfer update as Atletico Madrid 'agree deal' for striker signing

According to Fabrizio Romano, Atletico have struck an agreement with Juventus to sign David.

Furthermore, it has been reported that the Canada international will join the LaLiga side on a loan deal, which includes the option to buy at the end of the season.

However, Spanish publication Marca have shut that down by stating that David is seen as a asset to raise the level of a Atletico’s attack that will include Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth.

The report also states that ‘barring any last-minute unexpected changes’ Alvarez will still be an Atletico player after Tuesday’s transfer deadline.

“At the time of reporting, there is a low chance that Julian Alvarez comes to Arsenal,” The Athletic’s David Ornstein told TNT Sports.

“Atletico Madrid would do a deal with Arsenal. Arsenal are prepared to reach a club-to-club agreement, but they would want the player to want to join them.”

“Alvarez has shown no indication of wanting to join at this point. He’s spoken to Mikel Arteta and said that he doesn’t want to come.

“That could change, these situations are always movable, so I don’t want to say it won’t happen, but right now, it’s not developing.”

Atletico sporting director Matheu Alemany said: "He trained yesterday, and we hope he recovers quickly and is ready for the upcoming La Liga match.”
