Arsenal Offer €80m Plus Gyokeres to Land Julian Alvarez
Arsenal are putting together a major proposal worth €80 million plus striker Viktor Gyokeres to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. The Spanish club is open to selling the attacker, while Arsenal are ready to present a lucrative contract package worth €25 million per season.
At 26 years old, the South American forward is entering the prime of his career. He provides dynamic coverage across multiple attacking positions after establishing his reputation in European football.

How Julian Alvarez Fits Into Mikel Arteta’s System
Alvarez brings tactical flexibility that allows him to start centrally or operate wide on either flank. His technical quality in tight spaces offers a different style than Gyokeres, giving the front line sharper link-up play and more frequent chances in transition.
Replacing Viktor Gyokeres in the Gunners Attack
Including Gyokeres in the bid offers Atletico Madrid an immediate replacement upfront late in the window. The move clears space in the Arsenal starting lineup for Alvarez to take over as the focal point of the attack.
The €80m Transfer Fee and Wages Breakdown
The deal pairs €80 million in cash alongside Gyokeres to meet Atletico Madrid’s valuation. The contract on the table from Arsenal would double the attacker’s current earnings by paying him €25 million annually.
