what is atletico trying to do they said Alvarez is untouchable but now they are willing to sell him to arsenal Mmm wen I say clubs are scared of Barcelona people starts criticizing me now you can see it yourself
not a matter of fear no reasonable club sell their top player to a rival club to empower them at their own peril. Spurs just refused to sell Romero to Arsenal but allow him to move to La Liga. you are quick to forget their saga over griezman.

Arsenal is in dea need of an upgrade striker of a world class. Which is why they first went for Vinicius Junior and again Alvarez. Even Stankroke came from America to give his support for his signing. People should know that Arsenal is no more the Arsenal they use to know before.

Alvarez loves Barcelona,if Arteta don't want to work with VG14 then go for Victor Osimen.
I did not see alvarez as an upgrade to gyokeres. I will prefer oshinme. I know alvarez love Barcelona but if arsenal representative talked to him he might change his mind
