Vinicius Junior

Julian Alvarez

Following the complexities with Vinicius Junior, Arsenal are reportedly considering Julian Alvarez as one of their "three alternatives" ². Alvarez remains on Arsenal's watchlist this summer, even though Atletico Madrid has stated that the Argentine striker is not for sale ⁸.

• General Interest: Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Arsenal are showing greater interest than Liverpool in certain targets ¹.
