Barca still hunting for a new center-forward after Alvarez miss
Barcelona are still searching for a new center-forward after failing to land Julian Alvarez during the summer. Reporter Matteo Moretto says Alvarez has not signed with any agent yet and that a future move to Barcelona remains possible. Moretto adds that Barcelona are evaluating another striker, with Eli Kroupi Junior and Nicolo Tresoldi among names previously linked.
Barcelona’s pursuit of a new central striker remains active despite their strong scoring form. The club spent the summer trying to sign Julián Álvarez from Atlético but did not complete a deal.
Reporter Matteo Moretto says Álvarez has not chosen an agent. Pablo Barquero, who represents Rodri, currently has a slight edge, though Pastore is also involved and no agreement is final. Moretto adds that Barcelona are assessing another No. 9, with Eli Kroupi Junior and Nicolo Tresoldi previously linked.
Barcelona’s search could affect fans, players, and staff connected to the club, as a new striker may reshape expectations and squad roles. Supporters may follow rumors closely, while current forwards could face added competition. For Atlético and other clubs, Álvarez’s future and Barcelona’s alternatives may influence transfer plans. The outcome remains uncertain, so impacts are likely limited until any move actually develops.
