The future of Julián Álvarez is shifting again in the middle of the transfer market. Atlético de Madrid maintains a firm stance with the Argentine, while Barcelona is already looking at other names to strengthen its attack.

The Barcelona do not want to get trapped in an operation that is proving complex. Although Julián Álvarez has been in the spotlight during the 2026 World Cup, Atlético de Madrid's position and the message from Miguel Ángel Gil Marín have reinforced the idea that the forward will continue with the rojiblanco side.
The situation forces the Barcelona to expand its list of alternatives. According to Diario AS, Joan Laporta and Deco are already working with other profiles to cover the space that Robert Lewandowski will leave, without waiting indefinitely for a path to open up for the Argentine forward.
Three alternatives for the Barça forward line
Oyarzabal11.960.000€-220.000€ 3
DLThe first name on the table is Mikel Oyarzabal. The Real Sociedad captain is liked by Barça's sporting direction, although his departure from San Sebastián is seen as complicated due to the weight he has in the txuri urdin club and his emotional link to the organization.
Joao Pedro is another of the options that Barça is considering. Deco knows the player's environment well, and the club could make moves in the coming days if it decides to pursue that route.
The third candidate is Junior Kroupi, the 20-year-old French forward who belongs to Bournemouth and has a contract until June 2030. In the meantime, Julián Álvarez remains at the center of the market, but the Atlético de Madrid does not change its roadmap.
