Transfer rumors, news: Barcelona plan big move for Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez
"A move for Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez is being explored by Barcelona, according to Diario Sport. Club president Joan Laporta is believed to have placed the 25-year-old at the top of Barça's shortlist as they continue their search to land a forward to potentially replace 37-year-old Robert Lewandowski. However, there is belief that a deal could be difficult, with the Blaugrana expecting Atleti to demand an offer worth €200 million."
"Bayern Munich "fear another offensive" from Real Madrid for Dayot Upamecano with the defender out of contract in Bavaria in 2026, Marca reports. Madrid have a long history of looking to sign Bayern players on free transfers, from Toni Kroos and David Alaba -- who both moved to the Bernabéu -- to Alphonso Davies, who ended up deciding to stay put. Madrid are expected to sign a centre-back next summer, when both Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger could leave."
