It has been mentioned that the Blues would have to compete with Barcelona and Manchester City in the race to land the Argentina international next year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Alvarez\u2019s Impressive Form In La Liga<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Alvarez has put in a series of impressive displays for the Madrid giants in the final third during this La Liga campaign. The Argentine talent has banged in nine goals and picked up four assists in 15 matches for <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/la-liga-leagues\/atletico-madrid-la-liga\/\">Atletico Madrid<\/a> this season in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old has led the line well for the Spanish outfit as he is averaging 2.59 shots per 90 minutes in <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/la-liga\/\">La Liga<\/a>. He has kept 51.9% of his attempts on target. Alvarez has also been careful when distributing the ball in the final third, based on his pass completion rate of 79.5% in the top tier of Spanish football (stats via <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/15ab5a2b\/Julian-Alvarez\">fbref.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>His current contract at the Madrid club will run out in the summer of 2030. Hence, the Blues would have to make a massive offer if they are to stand a chance of recruiting Alvarez next year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336884\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336884\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Chelsea\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-1260x840.jpg 1260w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/real-betis-balompie-v-atletico-de-madrid-laliga-ea-sports-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336884\">SEVILLE, SPAIN \u2013 OCTOBER 27: Iker Losada of Real Betis is challenged by Julian Alvarez of Atletico de Madrid during the LaLiga EA Sports match between Real Betis Balompie and Atletico de Madrid at Estadio La Cartuja on October 27, 2025 in Seville, Spain.

He already knows the <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/\">Premier League<\/a> well from his time at Manchester City and won\u2019t take much time to adjust to life at <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/chelsea\/\">Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We can expect Alvarez to add a lot of goals to Enzo Maresca\u2019s frontline. He is good enough to challenge for a regular first-team spot at Stamford Bridge in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>At 25, Alvarez has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a dream option for the Blues to consider this winter or at the end of this campaign. He would even help the West London club challenge for some major trophies in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Chelsea are planning to move in for Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez next year.
