Arsenal has been identified as the only realistic option for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez this summer.
The Sun reports that the Argentina international, however, is not considering a move to the Premier League North London club.
Alvarez has been linked with both Arsenal and Barcelona in the transfer window.
Barcelona’s opening bid of £86.4 million was rejected by Atletico Madrid, with the situation at a “standstill” between both LaLiga clubs, according to The Sun.
Diego Simeone’s side are said to be confident that Alvarez will stay in the Spanish capital beyond.
Alvarez joined Atletico Madrid from Manchester City for £81.5 million two years ago.
It’s yet to be seen if the 26-year-old will end up leaving Atletico this summer for a new club.
