Julian Alvarez has not attended Atletico Madrid training since being told privately the club would not sell him to Barcelona and it appears the striker's only way out is with a move to Arsenal. The La Liga club also released two public statements in the space of 24 hours reiterating their stance that Alvarez will not be granted his wish to move to the Nou Camp in the coming days. Atletico, however, are open to selling Alvarez to the Gunners and have held direct talks with the Premier League champions over what would be one of the biggest transfers of the summer.
