Real Madrid have reportedly joined Arsenal and Barcelona in the race to sign Atletico Madrid forward, Julian Alvarez in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners and Barca have expressed interest in Alvarez in recent weeks with the Catalan side believed to have previously made an offer of £77.9 million, which reportedly infuriated Atleti. In response, the club jokingly suggested making an offer for Lamine Yamal.
On X, they wrote: “We have sent a fax to FC Barcelona with our transfer offer: four tickets for tomorrow’s Bad Bunny concert, an annual subscription to ABC, and a bag of sunflower seeds. We eagerly await the response to prepare the ‘announce’.”
Although the rumoured €500 million release clause in Alvarez’s contract is expected to be a major roadblock in negotiations.
Real Madrid Want Alvarez
According to SPORT as reported by Sport Bible, Real Madrid are trying to prevent Barcelona from signing the former Manchester City forward by landing him instead.
The 26-year-old, who is anticipated to become available this summer, has already drawn interest from Los Blancos.
Confirming the approach on X, Sky Sports Germany journalist Patrick Berger wrote: “Real Madrid are understood to have made enquiries about the Argentinian striker and rate him very highly. Atletico Madrid would be keen to sell Alvarez if an offer of €150 million arrives.”
Alvarez scored 20 goals and provided nine assists for Rojiblancos who ended fourth in La Liga, were runners-up in the Copa del Rey, and progressed to the Champions League semi-finals.
Alvarez, 26, is currently with the Argentine national team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup as La Albiceleste bid to successfully defend the trophy they won in the last edition which was hosted in Qatar.
