"It might be dangerous", but Barcelona is taking a clear approach in the transfer market

Barcelona continues its efforts to sign Rodri and Julian Alvarez, and according to "Mundo Deportivo", the club has no alternatives at the moment. The Catalans are "fully committed to the deals, despite the difficulties involved," the report states.

In the case of the Manchester City midfielder, the story is simpler and is expected to be concluded within a few days. "Barcelona is completely confident in signing him," the article notes, even though City continues to demand 80 million euros and the Spanish champion is willing to pay only 70 million euros, including bonuses. "Its biggest advantage is that Rodri made it clear that he wants to play for Barcelona, so City has no option to create competition between clubs for his services. Either they will sell him to Barcelona, or they will see him leave for free next summer. Barca expects the signing to be completed by next week at the latest," it was written.

As for the Atletico Madrid star, the situation is more complex. While the striker himself wants to move to the La Liga champion, negotiations with the Colchoneros are stuck. "Barcelona still sees him as the preferred option and has not activated other possibilities to strengthen the front line so far," wrote "Mundo Deportivo". "In the coming days, the picture surrounding his future is expected to become clearer."

Local media further analyzed the situation: "Although it might seem dangerous, Barcelona continues to claim that the first option is Julian, and it is also the second, third, and fourth option as of today. It is true that the club has information on the status of several strong strikers, but only the option of Julian has been seriously activated."
