Barcelona Club is preparing early for the post-World Cup period, with a prominent name in the attack line identified as a main target to strengthen its ranks in the coming phase.

Journalist Ben Jacobs reported that the Spanish club Barcelona has identified Argentine striker Julian Alvarez as its first target to sign after the end of the upcoming World Cup, as part of its effort to bolster the front line.

This interest comes at a time when Atletico Madrid is holding on to its player, planning to keep him and not let him go in the upcoming period, especially considering the player as one of the essential pillars of the team.

Estimates indicate that Alvarez's market value exceeds the 120 million euro mark, making any potential deal involving him complicated financially and in terms of negotiation.

In the same context, reports have clarified that a number of Premier League clubs have shown interest in the player, with Arsenal and others making initial contacts and inquiries about the possibility of signing him.
