As a result, SPORT report Arsenal have now ‘completely ruled out’ a move for the former Manchester City star and will instead move onto other targets.
Alvarez’s preference for Barcelona had up until this week only been relayed through the media but the player broke his silence this week, making it clear he wants to leave the Spanish capital.
‘I spoke with the people I needed to speak with and the best thing for everyone is a transfer. I want to fulfil my dream,’ Alvarez said after Argentina’s 2-0 win over Austria.
