Julián Álvarez has reappeared on the scene after his first great season at Atlético, and FC Barcelona knows they will have to move quickly if they want to sign him. In recent hours, it has been revealed that he is the top priority to strengthen the forward line, but more with an eye toward 2026. The surprise came from El Chiringuito, now indicating that the Argentine has significant offers on the table and wants to make a decision soon.
3 top offers for Julián Álvarez
Matías Palacios, a contributor to El Chiringuito, has surprised with his latest information. The journalist has discovered three offers from big teams for Julián Álvarez to leave Atlético immediately, and has set a key date.
"Starting next week, meetings begin with several clubs interested in Julián Álvarez. We're talking about the most important in the world," he began.
In this regard, Matías continued: "In England, there are two very big ones that want him: one is Liverpool, and the other is Arsenal. At this time, Arsenal is pushing hard to know the conditions and be able to sign him. There's another big one that has also inquired and wants to accelerate: Bayern."
Finally, the contributor to El Chiringuito concluded: "The meetings, I repeat, begin next week. If the offer, which will be like this, is higher than what Atlético paid, the exit would be possible."
Barça won't change their plan with Julián Álvarez
Madrid-Barcelona has consulted sources from Barça, who see this information as an attempt to advance the timelines. But the reality is that nothing will change regarding the plans with Julián Álvarez. He is the chosen one to become the next forward for Barça, but nothing will be done until 2026. The idea for the next season is to use Lewandowski and Ferran as the first team's forwards, with an added winger who can also play as a '9'.
The summer of 2026, when Lewandowski's contract ends, Laporta plans to present Julián Álvarez as his great asset for the upcoming elections. He is the chosen one, he fits in at FC Barcelona and believes that if he wants to wear the jersey of the best team in the world, nothing will happen if he waits 1 year. Among all the interested parties, there is no doubt: the best possible and most convincing proposal will be Barça's.
If Julián Álvarez wants to wear Barça's jersey, he will have to wait. This is the plan and it has been communicated at all times to all the actors involved in the operation.
