Barcelona may intensify negotiations for the transfer of Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez after the end of the 2026 World Cup.

As reported by Diario Sport, the Catalans are preparing a new proposal in the amount of 130 million euros.

According to Dzherel's information, this sum itself will become the final proposition of Barcelona. The club’s commitment does not plan to increase it to 150 million euros - having already been promoting Real for the past month, however, Atletico quickly embraced this proposal.

Barcelona deliberately postponed negotiations until the end of the World Cup to give the Madrid club more than an hour to search for a potential replacement for the Argentine striker. In addition, the Catalan club's insurance coverage will be much faster after the tournament..

An important factor for Barcelona is Alvarez’s desire to change the club this summer and move to the Camp Nou. If there is no need for the striker to be in the position of the Argentine national team at the World Cup, the club regards him as an ideal candidate for the role of the new leader of the attack after the departure of Robert Lewandowski.
