Hansi Flick, recently appointed as FC Barcelona’s head coach, has made it clear that his top choice to lead the club’s attack is Julián Álvarez. Despite being linked with several major international strikers, Flick reportedly told the board that Álvarez is the ideal candidate due to his youth, versatility, and playing style that fits Flick’s tactical system.
🔹 Although Álvarez has a €150 million release clause at Atlético Madrid, Barcelona is looking at creative ways to fund the deal, possibly by selling high-earning players or securing additional investments.
🔹 The club sees Álvarez as the perfect long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, aligning with a broader strategy of building a younger, more dynamic squad.
🔹 While backup options like Marcus Rashford and Nico Williams remain under consideration, the club’s current focus is firmly on bringing Álvarez to Camp Nou as soon as financial conditions allow.
