Julian Alvarez Update
If you remember, I stated there was another attacker I chose to keep anonymous. That player was indeed Julian Alvarez. The reason I said it was sensitive was because one of our players (Gyökeres) was potentially involved but let me just provide the facts for Arsenal fans. To my understanding the following statements are 100% factual.
• The players dream is Barca (personal terms agreed already)
• Barca have always wanted Julian to go public with his desire to force Atleti's position
• Atleti are adamant they will not to sell to Barca and would rather sell abroad but it wont stop Barca from trying
• PSG to my understanding left the race due to Campos / Enrique not wanting a player who doesn’t absolutely prioritise them but I wont be shocked if they return due to the players quality
• Julian has been a target for Arsenal since last summer
• After our group stage game Arteta made it clear we must atleast be in the race for the Argentine
• I can 100% confirm Atleti have interest in Viktor Gyökeres
• Andrea Berta has maintained contacts with the camp since last summer and has explored 'different structures & mechanisms' to bring Julian Alvarez to North London in the recent months…
• Reports about 'the English weather' being a reason Julian and his family would not return to England are absolutely false.
• The player would be very open to joining Arsenal and has directly told us should his dream to Barca become impossible
• Arsenal are yet to officially formalise their interest but Atleti are well aware of our interest.
The situation is chaotic but my role is to provide the absolute facts to the best of my knowledge in real time not predict the future. Its difficult enough tracking Berta and his 1000 spinning plates technique, its even harder when he silently speaks to ex-colleagues at Atleti with whom he has a lot of trust with but I have presented the facts. Genuinely feel a lot of relief talking about this all as its been exhausting to track for 14 months. I need to sleep now as I have been awake all night contacting sources 😂
Feel so much for Raya. Not only is he the best keeper in the world currently - but by the time the Simon obsession ends he’ll probs be too old and the No 1 will go straight to Garcia :/
🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Real Madrid reach verbal agreement to sign Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, HERE WE GO!

🚨 Bayer Leverkusen win race for Kennet Eichhorn. Massive interest from Germany + England but 16yo Hertha Berlin midfielder selected #Bayer04 after pursuit led by Simon Rolfes & Kim Falkenberg. Release clause to be activated @TheAthleticFC post @Plettigoal https://t.co/oAaMvVDIwt
100M used to be reserved for one of a kind footballers. Chelsea fucked it by paying the money for players like Enzo, who offers you nothing you wouldn’t get from the majority of midfielders.
The quality of last season premier league is absolutely insane. A relegated club has a player Real Madrid are interested in and he’s leaving for €92M.
Make no mistake, Arsenal won the hardest premier league title ever.
It's fitting that, out of everything, the one thing FIFA regrets at this World Cup is accidentally giving away 60 free tickets, which they've now cancelled and are demanding be paid for in full.
