Barcelona surprises: We can manage even without Julian Alvarez and Ferran Torres

Barcelona continues to maintain interest in Julian Alvarez, the Argentine striker who has already made it clear that he wants to leave Atletico Madrid, but does not plan to make a radical move beyond its original offer of 100 million euros submitted at the end of May, as reported in "Mundo Deportivo". The team believes that it is already strengthened in the attack line with the signings of Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi, and in addition, Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo, and Raphinha can play in the center forward position as needed.

Alvarez expressed a desire to leave Atletico in order to "realize a personal dream," but the club sets clear conditions and prefers to sell him only to certain teams, such as Arsenal or Paris Saint-Germain. Barcelona is waiting for developments, and its coach Hansi Flick wants another high-level striker, but there is no immediate pressure to make a purchase.

In addition, Barcelona clarified its position regarding Ferran Torres, the hero of the World Cup final: "If Torres is interested in leaving the team, he must approach the club himself," it was clarified. The club believes that he is an important asset and aims to renew his contract in September, after the closing of the transfer window, in accordance with budgetary limitations and financial fair play rules, but already now the team makes it clear that it is not interested in "games" around him.
