Entering a crucial phase of its sporting project, the Barcelona has begun identifying targets that could form the new pillars of its future, planning beyond some of its veterans who are now in the twilight of their careers – news that generates even more speculation among betting fans and slots.
One point of interest that has been circulating in the media recently is Bayer Leverkusen midfield prodigy Florian Wirtz.
Barcelona have been interested in Wirtz for some time but, as has been the case recently, their financial difficulties are a major obstacle to such big moves.
Tremendous news has now emerged as SPORT reports that Barcelona are reportedly keeping an eye on Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez, who Xavi Hernandez is a big fan of.
The perfect replacement for Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski is in his second season as a Barça player and has a contract until June 2026, but despite being a consummate professional and taking great care of his body, he is 35 years old and is showing signs of slowing down.
The Pole has also been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, and although there is no indication that this will materialize at the moment, it cannot be ruled out in the future.
Last season, Alvarez took a backseat to Erling Haaland, but now his importance at the Cityzens is growing.
He played a total of thirteen matches this season, scoring six goals and providing five assists. Of these thirteen matches, eleven were as a starter.
Following his remarkable World Cup-winning campaign with Argentina, his prominence means his market value has greatly increased.
If the club can stabilize their finances a little more, they could pursue the striker and have him form a remarkable partnership with newcomer Vitor Roque, which would be a sensational attacking partnership for the future at Barcelona.
According to reports from SPORT, the City player is believed to have a release clause that is not astronomical, making an approach to signing him next year very viable – provided there are achievements to back it up.
