Spain's Barcelona is intensifying efforts to sign Argentine forward Julian Alvarez, despite significant financial hurdles. The Catalan club has identified the young star as a primary target for the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, citing international media reports, Barcelona's sporting director Deco has held several meetings with Alvarez's representatives. However, no significant progress has been recorded yet. Sources indicate that Atletico Madrid is determined to retain the player, valuing him higher than the 120 million euros paid by Barcelona for Antoine Griezmann in 2019.
Julian Alvarez, a key figure in Argentina's recent international successes, joined Atletico Madrid in a high-profile move from the English Premier League. His potential transfer to Barcelona would represent one of the most significant deals in La Liga, as both clubs navigate complex financial regulations and squad restructuring. Additionally, English club Arsenal and other European giants are reportedly monitoring the situation, while Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has personally reached out to the player to discuss a potential move.
