FC Barcelona has set its conditions in the Julián Álvarez case. Looking for a new goalscorer for next season, the Catalan club are closely following the 26-year-old Argentine striker, while also keeping João Pedro in their priority options. But internally, the Catalan management has already decided: it will not participate in a bidding war on this issue, despite the interest of other European leaders.
The amounts mentioned for a possible transfer, which could exceed 140 million euros, are considered far too high by Barça, who refuse to align themselves with such a financial battle with Paris Saint-Germain or Premier League clubs. The Catalan club prefers a more measured approach on the market, in a context where the future successor of Robert Lewandowski becomes a major issue, while exploring more affordable avenues to strengthen its attack.
