Chelsea ‘quietly advancing’ in talks to sign Barcelona target Julian Alvarez
Premier League big spenders Chelsea have become the latest club to be linked with a move for Atletico striker Julian Alvarez.
The Argentina has also been regularly linked with Barcelona and you can expect his name to crop up over the next few weeks now the club’s presidential elections are underway.
At the same time, there’s talk he could be heading back to the Premier League to sign for Liam Rosenior’s side.
A report from ESPN Argentina claims the Blues are making moves for Alvarez. Reporter Jorge Baravalle says:
“I insist, people are talking about a lot with Barcelona and Arsenal. But I’m being told that the team slowly moving forward is Chelsea. Chelsea, quietly, are advancing for Julián Álvarez.
“I’m told there are conversations. In fact, part of the agency handling Julián’s transfer was in London this week, watching Chelsea v Arsenal.
“They know both clubs want him, but what I’m being told is that, as of today, the most advanced contacts are with Chelsea.”
Alvarez is currently having a tough time at Atletico. He hasn’t scored for the club in La Liga since November and comes up against Barcelona next in the Copa del Rey.
