Arsenal is looking to strengthen its attack for the next season by signing the Argentine striker Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid, according to "Fichajes".

The website reported that the English club plans to offer prominent players like Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli as part of a swap deal to reduce the direct financial cost, amid competition from other major clubs such as Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.

The report indicated that Arsenal's management considers the arrival of Alvarez an important step to enhance the team's winning instinct, especially with the player's experience and ability to play in various attacking positions. Meanwhile, Martinelli represents the key element in the exchange deal, valued at around 45 million euros, while Gabriel Jesus adds experience and versatility to the forward line.

The same source confirmed that the English club plans to restructure its attack in the summer of 2026, focusing on the scoring effectiveness provided by Alvarez, in an attempt to build a strong, youthful attack capable of competing at the highest European levels, while ensuring the team's financial balance.

According to the report, the success of the deal depends on the consent of the involved players and Atlético Madrid's ability to integrate the new elements into its plans and budget, while Arsenal aims to lead the race to sign the Argentine star to strategically strengthen its attack.
