Barcelona wants to make a blockbuster signing of Alvarez.

Barcelona are accelerating their efforts to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, in case Robert Lewandowski leaves next summer.

Barcelona wants Alvarez.

According to El Nacional , Barcelona president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco are both impressed with Alvarez's performances at Atletico. The club's leadership has identified the Argentinian star as the ideal replacement for Lewandowski, as the Polish striker is likely to leave the club next summer.

Since joining Atletico, Alvarez has scored 30 goals in 60 matches, demonstrating his impressive goal-scoring ability. A commentator from Movistar Futbol remarked: "Alvarez is a complete player, capable of adapting to any system and possessing a unique goal-scoring instinct."

The former Man City star's quick reflexes in front of goal were clearly demonstrated in La Liga, despite facing pressure from manager Diego Simeone's somewhat negative tactics.

Deco currently plans to finalize the deal in January 2026, but Spanish media claim Alvarez is not expected to arrive at Camp Nou until the summer 2026 transfer window opens. Furthermore, Atletico will not easily let their top scorer leave.

As for Lewandowski, his contract with Barcelona expires next summer. The Polish striker has received two offers of €100 million per season to play in Saudi Arabia.

Rashford's first significant contribution in a Barcelona shirt: On the evening of July 31st, the striker born in 1997 provided an assist to help Barca win 7-3 against FC Seoul.
