Julián Álvarez, the Atlético Madrid forward and Argentina international, has been linked with a move to several Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window — most notably Chelsea.
Reports circulating this week in Argentine and European media claim that Álvarez would rather complete a high-profile switch to Barcelona than sign for an English side.
According to a report from Fichajes, Barcelona are viewed by many insiders as Álvarez’s preferred destination should he depart Atlético Madrid in the coming months, with the striker reportedly eager to return to Spain and join a club poised to challenge for major honours.
The Catalans have been repeatedly linked with the forward as a possible successor to veteran striker Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires this summer and is expected to depart.
CHELSEA, along with other Premier League suitors including Arsenal and Manchester United, have kept tabs on the Argentine’s situation throughout the season and are said to be considering bids. However, recent reports indicate that interest from Blues officials has yet to result in any formal advances, and Álvarez’s own intentions lean toward staying in La Liga if a move materialises.
Despite the mounting transfer chatter, club sources close to the player have sought to temper expectations of a definitive decision. Representatives have publicly denied that any formal talks have taken place with Barcelona or that an agreement has been reached with either club, underlining that Atlético Madrid still hold the contractual keys to any potential transfer.

The summer transfer window is many month away and alot will change between now and then, but at the end of the day, we need to get Champions League football for next season if we wants to attract players of this quality still.
Alvarez would be a fantastic signing for CHELSEA that is for sure.
