FC Barcelona is actively searching the transfer market for a successor to Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker remains a crucial player under Hansi Flick, but concerns are arising due to his age. Consequently, the Catalan club’s management is convinced that in 2026, a new forward will be essential.
Many names are being floated in the media as potential targets for FC Barcelona. The latest reports from Carpetas Blaugranas indicate that the club is particularly interested in acquiring Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. According to these reports, the transfer has received the backing of Hansi Flick and even Robert Lewandowski, who reportedly believes the 25-year-old is a perfect fit for Barcelona.
The transfer might take place next year, as it is currently a challenging operation to complete. Julian Alvarez moved from Man City to Atletico before the 2024/2025 season, making another immediate transfer unlikely.
However, Spanish media sources suggest there is some dissatisfaction from Alvarez. Accustomed to winning titles with Manchester City, he now has to adapt to a different scenario at Atletico. His feelings about this transition could be a pivotal factor in a potential move to Barcelona in 2026.
