Report: Liverpool lead Barcelona in the race to sign 'extraordinary' goal machine
"Liverpool have kicked off the new season in style. Under Arne Slot, they've rediscovered both swagger and efficiency, winning all their first six matches across all competitions and sitting top of the Premier League. But ambitious clubs never rest. Even with strong attacking options already in place, the Reds are being linked with further upgrades. One name that's resurfaced with some noise in recent transfer speculation is Julian Alvarez, the Argentine forward currently with Atletico Madrid."
"According to Fichajes, both Liverpool and Barcelona are interested in a move for the Argentine striker but it is the Merseyside club who are best positioned' to sign the attacker. Alvarez has built a rich reputation over the past few seasons. Since moving to Atletico from Manchester City, he's become a central figure in Simeone's attack. The Argentina attacker scored 29 goals for the La Liga side last season in a highly successful individual campaign."
"Liverpool, meanwhile, have already invested heavily in their forward line. They brought in Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike following the departures of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz. Still, though Ekitike has shown promise, three goals and an assist in five league starts, the club seems to believe there is more to do in terms of elite depth.

Liverpool have begun the season strongly under Arne Slot, winning their first six matches across all competitions and leading the Premier League. Reports link Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid with interest from Liverpool and Barcelona, with one source claiming Liverpool are best placed to sign him. Alvarez scored 29 goals for Atletico last season and has become central to Simeone's attack since leaving Manchester City. Liverpool recently signed Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike after Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz departed. Ekitike has three goals and one assist in five league starts. Alvarez would be an expensive addition and is unlikely unless a forward departs.
