Journalist Graeme Bailey has again claimed Chelsea are in contact with Alvarez’s representatives and ‘holding talks’ about a potential blockbuster summer move, as the striker is reportedly open to making the move back to England.
Over the past few weeks, it is no secret that CHELSEA have been heavily linked with a move for Julian Alvarez ever since news broke that Spanish giants Atletico Madrid would be open to letting the little striker leave the club during the summer transfer window.
The 26-year-old contributed 20 Premier League goals during his Etihad spell before Atlético secured his signature for a massive £82 million in 2024, and he’s since bagged 40 goals and 13 assists across 89 appearances, though recent form has dipped with just one goal in his last 13 outings across all competitions.
What’s more, Alvarez is said to be open to the prospect of returning to England as CHELSEA eye a move.
Chelsea would have to pay a big fee if they were to lure Julian Alvarez back to the Premier League, that is according to ex-Everton and Aston Villa chief executive Keith Wyness, He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “Yes, look, I know that Julian Alvarez has been very highly regarded at Atletico Madrid.
“Everybody loves him, and he saved them in many ways. A number of big games. He’s a great player. If he was to come back, then I think that would be a big move, but well worth it.
“He is quality and I think he would suit them very well.
But yes, he is very highly regarded, and it would not be a cheap one, but I think he does want to come back to the UK and I think he’ll set the Premier League on fire again, and I think even more so now he’s had this spell at Atletico where he really has impressed to a great degree.”
