Atletico Madrid manager opens up on Barcelona target’s future – ‘I’m not in his head’

Robert Lewandowski’s future at Barcelona beyond this season is in serious doubt, and the club are already attentive to possible replacements on the market.

One player they have admired for a long time and whom they continue to eye is none other than Julian Alvarez.

While the player’s goalscoring record this season may not be the best, he has shown to have the quality required to succeed at the highest level.

Barcelona, needless to say, are willing to sign him even if there is a significant fee involved and the player is reportedly open to a switch too.
