FC Barcelona has marked Argentine striker Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid as their top candidate to replace Robert Lewandowski in the squad.
According to reports from Spanish media, the two clubs have already exchanged initial offers, but Atletico ridiculed Barcelona’s first proposal on social media.
Julian Alvarez is a young forward highly regarded for his versatility and goal-scoring ability at Atletico Madrid. Barcelona sees him as a key reinforcement for their attacking line following Lewandowski’s departure.
Inside the team, there is notable support for acquiring Alvarez. Midfielder Gavi recently stated in an interview that he would like to see Alvarez joining Barcelona next season, highlighting the forward’s World Cup performance.
The club is reportedly preparing a substantial bid for Alvarez after the World Cup, maintaining high hopes for the transfer. While alternatives like the experienced Spanish forward Mikel Oyarzabal remain on the radar, Alvarez is clearly the main target for the summer window.
The transfer remains at the rumor stage, with more developments expected after the international tournament concludes.
