Unconfirmed reports suggest that discussions have begun between Chelsea and Atletico over the transfer of Julian Alvarez. The forward has emerged as a top target for the squad and talks are reportedly progressing as the two clubs explore whether there is a deal to be done for the player. Chelsea are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Arsenal, Paris SG and Barcelona are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. At 1.64 goals scored per game this season, Chelsea already pose a big threat. Julian Alvarez would be expected to maintain that level and give them another reliable option in attack. Atletico have also been linked with Alejandro Garnacho, Goncalo Ramos and Kang In Lee while Chelsea are reportedly monitoring Douglas Luiz, Felix Nmecha and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
