The pursuit of Julian Alvarez remains a significant storyline in this summer’s transfer window. The 26-year-old forward has reportedly expressed a desire to depart from Atlético Madrid, attracting interest from several top European clubs. While Arsenal was initially among the prominent suitors for the Argentine international, the Gunners are now understood to be activating a contingency plan, focusing on a talent from PSG, should a deal for the 2022 World Cup winner prove unattainable.

This summer’s transfer market is expected to be exceptionally busy, with the situation surrounding Julian Alvarez generating considerable buzz. The Argentine international has made his intentions clear about leaving Atlético Madrid after recent international commitments. The 26-year-old striker reportedly has a wealth of options for his next move, with clubs like FC Barcelona and Arsenal previously linked as potential destinations.
Bradley Barcola emerges as Arsenal’s alternative to Julian Alvarez
However, reports suggest that a move for Julian Alvarez to Arsenal is becoming increasingly unlikely. Consequently, the Premier League giants are actively exploring other avenues in the transfer market. The profile of Bradley Barcola is reportedly under close consideration. The French international, who is also participating in the 2026 World Cup with the French national team, has reportedly caught the eye of the London-based club. Arsenal’s management is keeping a watchful eye on developments regarding Barcola.
Is Bradley Barcola open to leaving PSG?
Indeed, Bradley Barcola is said to be keeping all possibilities open for his future. While he is an important component in Luis Enrique’s squad at PSG, the 23-year-old winger is not an undisputed starter, facing stiff competition from talents such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembélé, and Désiré Doué. It has been reported that the French international is receptive to interest from Liverpool in the transfer window. This opens the door for Arsenal to potentially enter the fray for his signature. Bradley Barcola would represent a strong Plan B for the London club if securing Julian Alvarez proves impossible this summer. The situation remains fluid.
