It seems that Barcelona is not sure of its success in securing the services of Argentine Julian Alvarez, Atletico Madrid star, during the current transfer window, as it has moved toward an alternative deal.
Barcelona is already searching for alternatives to Julian Alvarez, and according to journalist close to Barcelona Gerard Romero, Deco, Barca’s sporting director, has already met with the representative of the Argentine star Lautaro Martinez, Inter Milan star.
He explained that Deco met last week with Alejandro Camano, agent of Lautaro Martinez, to discuss the situation and future of the Inter Milan striker.
The Italian club captain is among the main options Barcelona is considering should negotiations to sign Julian Alvarez fail.
Atletico Madrid’s striker remains the Catalan club’s top priority, yet the difficulty and cost of the deal are pushing it to explore other options.
Lautaro Martinez thus represents a standout solution in the eyes of Deco and Hans Flick, who wish to sign a top-class striker.
The Argentine international is 28 years old, has been followed by Barcelona for many years, and still holds great appeal in Catalonia, especially thanks to his finishing ability and his capacity to contribute to the flow of play.
