They want him for 2024, what FC Barcelona could pay for Julian Alvarez

FC Barcelona is beginning to structure its team for the future. The Catalan club has one of the most promising squads for the coming years, but they are aware that they will not be able to count on Robert Lewandowski for a long time. The 34-year-old Polish forward is still at a high level, but FC Barcelona wants an attacker for the next 10 years, something that is certainly not possible with the experienced player.

According to Sport, FC Barcelona believe that Julian Alvarez could be Robert Lewandowski's long term replacement. According to some sources, he has a release clause of €50M at Manchester City. The Argentine forward is one of the great realities of Manchester City and he is one of the most exciting footballers in Europe. However, it is important to show that the player also has ambitions to succeed in other clubs beyond Manchester and FC Barcelona is an option.

Barça has signed Vitor Roque for 30 million euros plus 31 in variables. The young Brazilian attacker is a bet for the future and should join the squad led by Xavi Hernández in January. With his arrival, the center forward position will be reinforced, which currently only has Robert Lewandowski. But precisely the search for a replacement for the Pole is what worries sports management. And as a possible replacement for Lewandowski, Barça is very attentive to the Argentine attacker, Julián Álvarez, a footballer who is very liked by Xavi Hernández and also by the board of directors of the culé club.

Julian Alvarez's new nickname

"He is the reincarnation of Alfredo Di Stéfano. He is a total playmaker, he plays everything. And if Alfredo became great it was not at Millonarios but at Real Madrid, in a football that was played almost with a belly, imagine this boy what is doing in football, it is a machine to attack anything and it also generates football. His name is Julián Álvarez, the youngest of the Scaloni family," said Jorge D'Alessandro, former Argentine player, in dialogue with the media 'TyC Sports'
