"One of the priorities for Barcelona next summer will be to sign a new forward as they prepare for life without Robert Lewandowski. The club are desperately looking for someone who can replace the productivity of the Pole, with Julian Alvarez emerging as one of the ideal candidates. Although the Atletico Madrid forward has struggled with form lately, he is regarded highly in the Barcelona camp due to his productivity and versatility in the final third."
"It seems Los Rojiblancos are determined to keep hold of Alvarez for the long run and fend off suitors such as Barcelona, Chelsea and Arsenal by nailing him down to a lucrative, long-term deal. This comes right after Atletico Madrid's 4-0 win over Barcelona that saw Alvarez return to scoring form and show glimpses of the productivity he is usually associated with."
Barcelona plans to sign a new forward next summer to replace Robert Lewandowski and restore goal productivity. Julian Alvarez has emerged as a leading target due to his scoring record and versatility across the final third. Atletico Madrid have moved first by presenting Alvarez with a long-term renewal offer that would extend his contract beyond 2030. Los Rojiblancos aim to secure him long-term and deter interest from Barcelona, Chelsea and Arsenal with a lucrative deal. Alvarez returned to form in Atletico's 4-0 win over Barcelona but has not accepted any offer. Atletico rejected a €120 million Arsenal bid and will demand a substantial transfer fee.
