of Atletico Madrid striker Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez ahead of the summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to ESPN, the Gunners had their eye on Alvarez last summer and are now considering the possibility of signing him again for the 2026\/27 season.<\/p>\n<p>According to ESPN, Arsenal&#8217;s sporting director Andrea Berta could be key here as he previously worked at Atletico Madrid and has a good relationship with Alvarez&#8217;s agent Fernando Hidalgo.<\/p>\n<p>The report comes after other sources have also increased the talk of a potential move from Alvarez to Arsenal, with The Athletic&#8217;s David Ornstein also suggesting he could be a player to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Julian Alvarez celebrates

that Alvarez will end up at Arsenal as it is still early days, but his price could be difficult for many clubs to meet as well.<\/p>\n<p>As reported yesterday, Alvarez&#8217;s transfer fee could be up to 150 million euros, or perhaps closer to 200 million euros, according to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur.<\/p>\n<p>But another thing to keep an eye on may be how Alvarez does and how that affects his price tag in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>A recent report from Fijages suggests that the 25-year-old&#8217;s value may already have declined after his poor form, with just one goal in his last 10 games.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Julian_Alvarez_brings_to_Arsenal\"><\/span>What Julian Alvarez brings to Arsenal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alvarez
