The biggest deal to watch?
- Published
Julian Alvarez's potential move to Arsenal could be the biggest deal to watch before Tuesday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline, with the Atletico Madrid striker's future now hanging in the balance.
The 26-year-old is caught between his desire to leave Atletico and the club's refusal to sell him to Barcelona. But they would do a deal with Arsenal.
The Gunners have had a long-term interest in Alvarez and have been monitoring the dramatic situation, with Atleti looking for a fee of 150m euros (£128m).
Alvarez has missed multiple training sessions and did not travel to face Sevilla on Saturday, with Simeone saying he wasn't well enough.
Simeone, meanwhile, has attempted to keep the door open, saying he will "do everything" he can to make Alvarez feel important when he returns to training.
