Barcelona are unwilling to pay more than 70 million euros for Alvarez. |
According to Spanish media, Barcelona considers Alvarez an ideal option due to his versatility and sharp goal-scoring ability. However, the reigning La Liga champions are not willing to break the bank to acquire the Argentine international. The club's management has set a price ceiling of 70 million euros for the transfer, significantly lower than the more than 80 million euros demanded by Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona's cautious approach stems from Alvarez's inconsistent form. Compared to his performances for Argentina or in previous periods, the 25-year-old striker has not yet reached the peak of expectations. This has led the Catalan club's management to decide against exceeding their financial limits.
Conversely, Atletico Madrid has taken a firm stance. Coach Diego Simeone's team considers Alvarez a key player in their long-term project and has no intention of selling him cheaply. Sporting Director Mateu Alemany also affirmed that the striker is completely happy at the club and there is no question of him looking to leave.
Meanwhile, Lewandowski's future at Barcelona is nearing its end. At 37, the Polish striker is likely to be relegated to a reserve role if he renews his contract for another year with a significantly reduced salary.
In addition to strengthening the attack, coach Flick also wants to add a top-class left-footed center-back. Alessandro Bastoni of Inter Milan has emerged as a leading target. However, this is predicted to be a costly and complicated deal, as the Italian team is only willing to negotiate at a high price for a key player whose contract runs until 2028.
