Barcelona is actively seeking a successor for Robert Lewandowski, who is approaching 37 years of age and is about to enter the final year of his contract. Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, has reportedly expressed interest in Julian Alvarez. Alvarez, who joined Atlético Madrid last summer from Manchester City, has emerged as a crucial figure at Atlético, netting 24 goals and providing 5 assists in 47 appearances. While Barcelona is considering Alvarez as a potential acquisition, there are concerns about the financial viability of such a move, given that Atlético invested approximately 75 million euros in him and is likely to demand a substantial transfer fee from a direct rival.

Joan Laporta has settled on Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez as the ideal replacement for Robert Lewandowski at Barcelona.

Barcelona have turned their attention to Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez and could use Gavi and Ferran Torres as potential bargaining chips in a part-exchange deal.
