Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Arsenal have no intention of selling Viktor Gyökeres this summer, with multiple big clubs having their inquiries rejected; meanwhile, the Gunners remain in pursuit of Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, while Spanish sources suggest a complex player-swap deal.
Reporter Ben Jacobs breaks down Julián Álvarez's summer transfer saga: the player favors Barcelona, but Atlético Madrid refuse to sell and release-clause terms make a breakthrough difficult; if Barcelona drop out, Premier League interest heats up, with Arsenal more likely than Manchester United to land the striker.
Real Madrid's reported €150m bid for Julián Álvarez may be a strategic smokescreen, with Bayern Munich's Michael Olise the club's true target; Bayern are not willing to sell for now.
As Argentina prepare for their second match against Austria, the battle between Lautaro and Álvarez for a starting spot has become the focus, with Scaloni potentially set to reshuffle his forward line.
Premier League champions Arsenal plan to spend around £174 million in the summer transfer window as they push to wrap up moves for Kroupi and Morgan Rogers as quickly as possible.
Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez has made it clear he will only join Barcelona if he leaves, dealing a major blow to Arsenal's summer transfer plans after the Gunners made him their top target.
