Alvarez Odds-On To Stay Put
The summer transfer window is always a busy time for the best football betting sites, and one of the more closely watched markets right now centres on Julian Alvarez's future.
Argentina's number 9 has shortened into odds-on with bet365 to remain at Atletico Madrid beyond this summer, with neither Barcelona nor Arsenal having made a significant move to prise him away so far.
It's a market that looked far more open earlier in the window, but as the weeks tick by without concrete action from his suitors, the odds have settled firmly in Atletico's favour.
An implied probability north of 70% for Alvarez staying put shows just how confident the market is that this saga won't end in a transfer.
Next Club Odds: The Full Breakdown
With no major developments from Barcelona or Arsenal to speak of, bet365 have Alvarez as a strong favourite to stay in Madrid.
Here's how the full next club market currently looks, sorted from shortest to longest odds, along with the implied probability behind each price.
| Julian Alvarez's Next Club | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Stay at Atletico Madrid | 2/5 | 71.4% |
| Barcelona | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Arsenal | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Real Madrid | 40/1 | 2.4% |
| PSG | 40/1 | 2.4% |
What's Being Said About His Future
Much of the recent noise around Alvarez's future stems from comments made by respected journalist David Ornstein, who has offered some clarity on where things currently stand.
Ornstein indicated that Atletico Madrid's position is firmly that the striker is going nowhere this summer, though he noted Arsenal could look to move quickly should "the door open."
It's a telling insight into the situation: Atletico appear settled on keeping hold of one of their key attacking assets, while Arsenal are understood to be monitoring things closely in case an opportunity does present itself.
For now, though, there's been no indication of the kind of concrete approach that would be needed to change the picture.
