Barcelona Make Julián Álvarez Their Top Summer Target
🚨 Transfer Update — Julián Álvarez has emerged as Barcelona’s No. 1 priority for the upcoming summer transfer window, with president Joan Laporta personally identifying the Argentine forward as the man to spearhead the club’s next attacking project.
According to Sport, Barça insiders believe Atlético Madrid would demand a fee in the region of €200 million to even consider parting ways with Álvarez — a figure that would make him one of the most expensive signings in football history.
Why Álvarez?
Laporta and the sporting department view the 25-year-old World Cup winner as a complete forward: versatile, clinical, and capable of linking midfield creativity with attacking firepower. His mix of pressing intensity and technical finesse is seen as an ideal fit for the Catalan giants’ new project.

Nevertheless, the signal from the Camp Nou boardroom is clear: Álvarez is the dream signing
