EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>
By Ariel Blanco and Daniel Edwards<\/p>\n

Velez Sarsfield<\/a> want to keep starlet Ricky Alvarez<\/a> at the club through the summer but admit that an offer of around \u00a312 million could tempt them into selling their prized asset.<\/p>\n

The club’s hierarchy met on Tuesday night in order to discuss the player’s future amid rumours that Arsenal were seeking a deal for the imposing attacker.<\/p>\n

Speculation was rife last week that the 23-year-old had signed a pre-contract agreement with Arsene Wenger’s side but those reports remain unsubstantiated.<\/p>\n

Alvarez has three years left on his current deal at Velez and only a massive offer would see him move to Europe.<\/p>\n

“Velez have no current intention to sell Alvarez,” a\u00a0source close to Velez told\u00a0Goal.com<\/strong>\u00a0after the board meeting.<\/p>\n

“We have a philosophy at this club of not selling players at a young age and letting them reach their potential.<\/p>\n

“Velez would require an offer similar to what we received from Al-Sadd for Mauro Zarate.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Qatar Stars League side paid \u00a312m for the Lazio striker in 2007 and Velez were also able to hold on to 20 per cent of Zarate’s contract rights as part of the deal.<\/p>\n

An Arsenal representative is understood to have travelled to Buenos Aires on Tuesday and could watch Alvarez in action for Velez in nearby Montevideo during Thursday’s Copa Libertadores tie with Penarol.<\/span><\/p>\n
