Barcelona are ready to make a huge sacrifice in the transfer window to make one of the most sensational transfers of the summer.
After reaching an agreement with Anthony Gordon from Newcastle for 70 million euros plus another 10 million in bonuses, the Catalan leaders have no intention of stopping and now the main target remains Julian Alvarez.
The Argentine striker is considered Hansi Flick’s ideal choice to replace Robert Lewandowski, who is expected to leave Camp Nou at the end of his contract.
Alvarez himself is seen as highly desirable within the Blaugrana club, but the main obstacle continues to be Atletico Madrid, who refuse to negotiate below the figure of 150 million euros.
To secure the necessary funds for this operation, Barcelona is willing to give up one of the team’s most important talents, Fermin Lopez.
The Spanish midfielder has had a fantastic season and his performances have attracted the attention of big Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea.
According to reports, the Catalans aim to collect around 100 million euros from the sale of the player who left La Masia, although his departure would be considered a significant loss for the fans and the club’s sporting project.
Barcelona believe that only through a major sale can the transfer of Julian Alvarez, who is seen as the new leader of the offensive department for the coming seasons, be finalized.
The Blaugrana leaders are convinced that the Argentine striker’s profile fits perfectly with Flick’s philosophy, thanks to his high pressing, intelligent movements and instinct in front of goal.
The coming weeks are now expected to be decisive for the future of Fermin Lopez and for the possibility of Julian Alvarez being transferred to the “Camp Nou”, in what could become one of the most spectacular operations of the summer transfer window.
