Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez has been linked with a move back to the Premier League in recent months.
Liverpool are interested in signing Julian Alvarez, and they will face competition from Barcelona. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool are currently better placed than Barcelona to sign the 25-year-old World Cup winner.
The Argentine international scored 29 goals in all competitions last season, and he could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for most teams. However, it is quite surprising that Liverpool are keen on him. The player’s agent recently refuted his links with the Merseyside club in the summer.
The Reds have already spent a substantial amount of money on Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike, and they are struggling to accommodate both in the starting lineup. Adding another striker would make no sense.
Julian Alvarez will not want to join a club where he will not be a regular starter. There is no doubt that the 25-year-old is a quality player, and he will want to join a club where he will be the first-choice striker.
Barcelona move would be ideal for Alvarez
A move to Barcelona would be ideal for Julian Alvarez. Robert Lewandowski is in the twilight stages of his career, and they need a top-class striker to lead the line for them in the coming seasons. It will be interesting to see if Barcelona can secure an agreement with Atletico Madrid.
The transfer is likely to be an expensive one. Alvarez is one of the best players in La Liga, and Atletico Madrid will not want to lose him easily. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. As for Liverpool, they need to improve their attacking unit, but they need to invest in the wide areas instead.
The Reds need more pace and unpredictability from the flanks. It will be interesting to see if they can bring in the necessary reinforcements in the coming months. Liverpool have done quite well to improve the squad this summer, and they have spent a substantial amount of money. They will hope that their new signings perform at a high level and help them win major trophies this season.
