The Blaugrana believe Atletico Madrid are expected to demand a fee of around €120-140 million for the services of the Argentine international.
Offering Ferran in a player-plus cash deal, therefore, could go a long way in lowering the cost of operation of the Alvarez deal.
That said, Ferran’s future at Barcelona may depend hinge on the future of Robert Lewandowski, who is yet to make a final decision even as his contract expires at the end of the season.
The Pole has the option to continue at Barcelona at a reduced salary and role in the first-team. But he has received offers from MLS and Italy.
Alvarez, for his part, is ready to leave Atletico Madrid this summer, having failed to win a single major trophy this season. He will continue to push for a move to Catalonia.
