As Barcelona gear up for the summer transfer window, one of their priorities is to secure the services of a new frontman.

Julian Alvarez has emerged as the undisputed choice. But there have been conflicting reports on the Argentine’s future at Atletico Madrid.

Recent reports suggest Alvarez is already looking for a house in Barcelona. But negotiations with Atletico Madrid are bound to be difficult, with the Spanish giants keen on keeping hold of the Argentine.
