A new report from ESPN details how the Gunners have “explored the possibility” of going for Alvarez in the summer transfer window.
Sporting director Andrea Berta moved to Arsenal after 12 years with Atletico in the summer, and it seems his relationship with Diego Simeone’s side could help any potential deal go through.
Arsenal have invested heavily in the squad recently, with the likes of Victor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, and Noni Madueke all arriving last summer. Yet Gyokeres has struggled to live up to his lofty price tag and Arsenal may now spend again.
