- Arsenal could make effort to land Alvarez
- Man City reportedly set huge asking price
- Guardiola unimpressed amid exit rumours
WHAT HAPPENED?
ESPN reported on Friday that Atletico Madrid are being considered the favourites to sign Argentina international Alvarez as the Spanish side have reportedly made the player a transfer priority as they look to replace Alvaro Morata who left for AC Milan earlier this summer.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The Mirror, however, states that the young forward could move to north London from Manchester as Arsenal are now ready to sign him to bolster their attack. The report further claims that the reigning Premier League champions are expected to demand a transfer fee in the region of £80m (€95m). While Mikel Arteta’s side might not match City’s huge asking price, they are expected to table a sizable offer.

Alvarez had earlier claimed that he remains unsure about his future and would only take a decision after the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024.
