The Spanish club, Atletico Madrid, remain firm on the stance that Alvarez is not for sale, and they especially do not want to trade him to Barcelona, his preferred destination. This stances leaves Arsenal in a potentially advantageous position to secure the forward during the current transfer window.\n\nThe Gunners have high regard for Alvarez, who they believe would bring significant improvement to the team. In their latest proposal, Arsenal are reportedly willing to include Viktor Gyokeres in the deal, along with a cash transfer fee. Though Gyokeres had an impressive first season at Arsenal, his inclusion in a swap deal would be a substantial decision, especially given that he completed only one season with the club.\n\nDespite Atletico’s insistence that Alvarez is not for sale, Arsenal appears determined to explore every avenue to bring him to the club. The proposed swap with Gyokeres and additional funds showcases Arsenal's commitment to securing Alvarez, even if it means making a significant change to their attacking options.",
