Barcelona is prioritizing a new striker to replace Robert Lewandowski after the season in Spain. The club views the No. 9 position as the absolute summer transfer priority and is hopeful about spending heavily. Lewandowski’s departure has created wage-bill space, and Barcelona is aiming to return to the 1:1 rule in time for the summer window. Barcelona plans to spend slightly more than €100 million on reinforcements, with most of that investment directed toward the striker role. Interest in Alessandro Bastoni has cooled, and Barcelona may not add to the backline due to Gerard Martin’s emergence and Andreas Christensen’s return to fitness. Julian Alvarez and Joao Pedro are top targets, with speculation that Atletico want €150 million for Alvarez.
"Barcelona’s hunt for a new striker to replace Robert Lewandowski is gaining ground following the end of the season in Spain. A new update from AS states that Barca see signing a new No. 9 as the absolutely priority for the summer transfer window and are hopeful they can spend big. Lewandowski's exit has freed up space on the wage bill and Barca are hoping to be able to return to the 1:1 rule in time for the summer window."
"The report adds that Barca now plan to spend slightly more than 100 million euros on reinforcements and have decided that the bulk of the investment will be for the number 9 position. Barca had been going for a defender as well but have cooled interest in Alessandro Bastoni and may not now bolster their backline due to the emergence of Gerard Martin and Andreas Christensen's return to fitness."
"Julian Alvarez and Joao Pedro are currently the top two targets, although current speculation claims that Atletico want 150 million for the Argentina star."
