Julian Alvarez

- From my last update, every single point still remains true
- Arteta sees Julian as a major marquee transformational signing
- There are direct fresh contacts between the ownership at Arsenal and Atleti regarding a possible transfer. There is still a gap in the valuation of the Argentine. Story with @LucaBendoni
- Again, respect to every journalist and their work, but I remain adamant that the player is open to a move to North London IF his dream move to Barca fails
- Atleti remain adamant they will not sell to Barca but my understanding is Barca will engage in talks for one final attempt post World Cup.
- A deal remains difficult but it has not deterred Arsenal from trying to position themselves for an opportunity to sign a top tier forward should Atleti sanction a sale.
- Berta is currently in the capital of Madrid with his family. One source said he has also taken the opportunity to meet with Atleti officials directly but I am waiting on further confirmation on this.

Bruno G

- My understanding is club to club talks have NOT taken place except a phone call from Newcastle asking Arsenal about their stance, which didn’t clarify anything between the parties.
- Berta is still wanting Kia to handle all the negotiations until / if a fair valuation can be reached between BOTH parties.
- Newcastle are aiming to secure a fee within the £80-£85m range as a minimum
- Bruno is fully sold on the project and is awaiting his agents and Kia to handle the situation respectfully.

Rogers

- Currently I am not obliged to update on this current file, when I can I will be sure to explain things in detail.
- People at Arsenal maintain he is the top target for the winger / central attacker role
- For now, all I can say is Spurs showed some interest but as of today Morgan’s focus is Arsenal if a deal can be agreed

Others

- I saw reports about the UAE interest in Norgaard, my understanding is that the player wants to stay in London for at least another year if he is able to.
- I also asked contacts at Fenerebace about Jesus who say currently there is no major interest as of TODAY.
- People around the Tzolis deal on both sides expect it to progress soon.

@JacobsBen

Christos Tzolis has informed Arsenal he wants to join and club-to-club talks are set to accelerate. Tzolis to cost £30m-£35m depending on the structure of a deal. Club Brugge are willing to sell this summer.

Tzolis´ proposed arrival has no bearing on Arsenal´s pursuit of Morgan Rogers.🇬🇷
