Barcelona are searching for a striker to lead the attack after Robert Lewandowski’s expected departure. Three names are on the shortlist: Julian Alvarez, Joao Pedro, and Harry Kane. Completing any of the operations is expected to be extremely complicated. Kane is considered the hardest option because he is still performing at an elite level for Bayern Munich, with a contract running until 2027 and strong negotiating leverage for the Bavarians. Barcelona view Alvarez and Joao Pedro as more realistic possibilities, though neither is expected to be cheap. Barcelona have gathered information through player representatives, but no formal offers have been made to Atletico Madrid or Chelsea. Alvarez is generating the most excitement because he fits Hansi Flick’s attacking system, and he has not fully closed the door to a future exit despite a contract until 2030.
"According to the outlet, Barcelona's expected budget for a striker could reach around €100 million, but much will depend on whether the Argentine pushes for a move and whether Barcelona remain his preferred destination. Joao Pedro, meanwhile, has also emerged as a serious candidate in recent weeks."
