"Now, the Catalans have taken an interest in Los Rojiblancos' striker Julian Alvarez and see him as a potential long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, whose future at the club remains uncertain. Given his age and expiring contract, there is a good chance the Polish striker leaves next summer, and Alvarez is one of Barcelona's top options alongside Bayern Munich's Harry Kane."
"Barcelona recently took on Atletico Madrid in La Liga and won by a 3-1 margin at the Spotify Camp Nou, and Alvarez was among the starters for Los Rojiblancos on the night. After the game, Barcelona's official social media posted a picture of Lamine Yamal with Alvarez in a still from the game with the title 'Stars under the spotlight', and the photo has generated significant discussion on social media."
"While it is clear what Barcelona imply by Yamal's inclusion in the photo, the decision to use a still with Alvarez particularly has fans speculating whether it is a 'wink' in the Argentine star's direction, hinting towards a potential summer transfer. After all, their interest in the World Cup winner is well documented at this point, and there is absolutely no scenario in which Alvarez himself does not know of Barcelona's attention on him."
Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann have previously switched between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, with forwards often moving between the clubs. Barcelona have identified Julian Alvarez as a potential long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski amid concerns over Lewandowski's age and expiring contract, with Alvarez also competing with Bayern Munich's Harry Kane on Barcelona's shortlist. Barcelona posted a social-media image featuring Lamine Yamal and Alvarez that prompted transfer speculation. Atletico Madrid bought Alvarez for €95 million just over a year ago and currently have no desire to sell him.
