"As we finally wrap up 2025, Barcelona are gearing up for an important and rather busy 2026, where the club will be expected to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window. Robert Lewandowski's contract at Camp Nou expires at the end of the season. Although there's still a chance it could be renewed, Barcelona will inevitably have to find a replacement."
"The club have been linked with multiple stars, but one option that stands out the most is Julian Alvarez, the player who has already proven himself in La Liga and could be an ideal long-term investment for the Blaugrana. Barcelona remain interested in Alvarez A recent report from SPORT has offered an update on Barcelona's pursuit of Julian Alvarez. The report suggests the Catalans are still interested in the services of the Argentine international,"
"However, Alvarez is not a priority option for Barcelona right now, which does make sense given the complexities involved in the operation. Atletico Madrid, after all, have no desire to part ways with their biggest star, having only signed him a year and half ago. Even if the club consider selling the Argentine, Barcelona won't make their list of ideal suitors as the Catalans are a direct rival."
Robert Lewandowski's contract at Camp Nou expires at the end of the season, creating a clear need for Barcelona to sign a new striker in the 2026 summer window. Julian Alvarez emerges as a leading option after proving himself in La Liga and scoring 40 goals in 80 matches for Atletico Madrid. Barcelona have maintained routine contact with Alvarez's camp but treat him as a non-priority due to the complexity of dealing with a direct rival and Atletico's unwillingness to sell a recently signed star. Club economic limitations further delay decisive moves, leaving Barcelona to play a cautious waiting game.
