Return to the Premier League? Julian Alvarez s potential reunion with Arsenal

Arsenal wanted to buy a high-level striker to strengthen the lineup, and they turned their attention to Atletico Madrid's Alvarez. This idea has no problem in terms of player ability. Alvarez has proved himself in the Premier League and can still have high scoring efficiency in La Liga. A player like him who has both creativity and scoring ability is indeed what all giants want.

However, the possibility of this transaction being successful is slim. The key is Atletico Madrid coach Simeone's recent public statement. His words can be said to be clear and beautiful. He first praised Alvarez and admitted that such a good player must be wanted by everyone. This not only comforted the players, but also satisfies the fans' pride. Then he changed the subject and said, "But he is ours, we have to take good care of him."

This is actually a very tough "speak from the air", which clearly tells Arsenal and other potential buyers: Alvarez is our "non-sale product", and you can give up. When a team's head coach uses this attitude to protect his core players, it means that the transfer door has basically been closed. Unless Arsenal can offer a sky-high price that Atletico Madrid cannot refuse, it is unlikely that this transfer will make any substantial progress.
