Mikel Arteta has made a last-ditch attempt to convince Julian Alvarez to choose Arsenal over Barcelona.
According to recent reports, the Arsenal manager has personally called the Atletico Madrid striker in an attempt to convince him to move to the Premier League. However, Alvarez has reportedly reiterated his desire to leave Atletico only to join Barcelona.
The Madrid club, on the other hand, is categorically against selling the Argentine to Barcelona. Atletico have previously rejected a €100 million offer from the Catalans and do not want to strengthen a direct rival.
For this reason, Atletico Madrid's leaders are trying to convince Alvarez to move to the Premier League, with Arsenal seen as one of the preferred destinations.
However, the striker's desire remains clear, Barcelona.
