Top attacking target could be tempted for Barcelona move as frustration with Atletico Madrid grows

Atletico Madrid may have won their battle against Barcelona in the Champions League this season. But with a tough fixture against Arsenal coming up, the club are still staring at the possibility of finishing the season without a trophy.

This does not bode well for the club’s hopes of retaining the services of their top striker, Julian Alvarez, who is not accustomed to not winning titles.

This is where things get interesting for Barcelona, who have identified the Argentine as a priority target.

Alvarez could be tempted by Barcelona move

According to Diario SPORT, Barcelona are monitoring the situation of Julian Alvarez, and the circumstances surrounding the Argentine are beginning to work in their favour.

The Argentine’s career at River Plate, Manchester City and the Argentine national team has been defined by trophies, and last season marked the first time in years that he ended a campaign empty-handed.

This season appears to be heading in the same direction, with Atletico having already been eliminated from the Copa del Rey and facing an uphill battle against Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals.
