Arsenal are reportedly shifting their attacking transfer plans, with Julian Alvarez emerging as an alternative target after Bradley Barcola's move away from PSG stalled, according to Sky Sports' roundup of Monday's newspaper talk.
The Gunners had been eyeing Barcola as a potential reinforcement for their forward line, but with the France international unavailable, attention has apparently turned to Atletico Madrid's Alvarez instead. The Argentina international, who left Manchester City for Atletico last year, has established himself as one of La Liga's most dangerous forwards, and Mikel Arteta's side are said to be exploring whether a deal could be struck.
It's understood the change in target reflects Arsenal's ongoing search for firepower up front, an area they've been linked with strengthening for some time. No concrete details on valuation or timeline have emerged yet, and Sky Sports stress this remains speculation drawn from newspaper sources rather than a confirmed move. Expect more clarity as the transfer window progresses and Arsenal's priorities become clearer.
