Julian Alvarez Linked with Premier League Return as Arsenal and Liverpool Circle
Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly among a number of top clubs eyeing a summer swoop for Julian Alvarez, who is currently shining for Atletico Madrid. The 25-year-old Argentine forward has emerged as one of La Liga’s top attacking talents, and his potential return to the Premier League is drawing significant interest.
According to Spanish outlet El Chiringuito, Atletico Madrid are open to selling Alvarez — but only if a substantial offer is presented. Negotiations with interested parties are expected to begin in the coming week as the summer transfer window approaches.
For Arsenal, a move for Alvarez represents a potential solution to their long-standing issue in front of goal. Despite another strong campaign, Mikel Arteta’s side once again fell short in the title race due in part to inconsistent finishing. Alvarez, a natural striker with excellent movement, work ethic, and positional flexibility, could be the missing piece in the Gunners’ attacking puzzle.
Liverpool, too, are keeping a close eye on Alvarez’s situation. With Darwin Núñez failing to consistently lead the line, the Reds are reportedly in the market for a more reliable forward. Alvarez, who previously featured for Manchester City, is already familiar with the demands of the Premier League. His versatility, relentless energy, and proven goal-scoring ability make him an ideal candidate for the Merseyside club as they transition under new manager Arne Slot.
Alvarez has had a standout season at Atletico, racking up 29 goals and six assists across all competitions — numbers that underline his clinical nature and influence in the final third. However, Atletico are unlikely to part with him easily. The Spanish club are expected to demand a hefty fee, and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal or Liverpool are willing to meet that valuation.
Beyond his current form, Alvarez brings invaluable experience at both domestic and international levels. He has won the Premier League, Champions League, FIFA World Cup, and Copa America — a trophy cabinet that speaks volumes about his pedigree. With his best years still ahead, Alvarez could prove to be a transformative signing for any top-tier side ready to make their move this summer.
