How Julian Alvarez will help Arsenal sign Barcelona star

Julian Alvarez has yet to open the door to a move to Arsenal, with the Gunners keen to bring him into their squad while the striker continues to favour a switch to Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid are unwilling to allow him to join their rivals, and time is running out for the Argentine to secure a move to the Catalan club. However, Barcelona have not abandoned their interest and are still determined to explore a deal.

The Spanish giants are planning another approach for Alvarez, who reportedly regards them as his preferred destination. They will do their best to make his move possible, although their financial situation remains a major obstacle.

Barcelona consider player sales to fund Alvarez move

Barcelona need to raise funds before they can realistically pursue the Atletico Madrid forward. The club may therefore have to sell some players to generate the money required to complete a deal.

According to Fichajes, one player they are willing to consider selling to raise funds is Jules Kounde. The French defender has been linked with Arsenal for a long time, and his availability could present the Gunners with an opportunity.

Kounde is a highly regarded defender who could fit well into Mikel Arteta’s squad. Arsenal have experienced fitness problems involving Ben White and Jurrien Timber, making defensive reinforcements an important consideration for the club.
