Julian Alvarez Faces Deadline for Future Decision Amid Arsenal Interest

Atletico Madrid has given Julian Alvarez until Sunday to determine his future, asking him to either stay with the club or consider a transfer to Arsenal. The club has made it clear that they will not negotiate with Barcelona, which is Alvarez's preferred choice.

Alvarez is reportedly weighing his options after being informed that a move to Barcelona is not possible. He is said to be struggling with the situation and has not shown a strong interest in joining Arsenal, which has led the club to believe that he is unlikely to make the switch.

Atletico's coach, Diego Simeone, confirmed that Alvarez will not participate in the upcoming match against Sevilla due to not training for the last three days. Atletico's CEO expressed concern for Alvarez's well-being, noting that he is confused and facing a challenging time both personally and professionally.
