After the Anthony Gordon deal was done, Barcelona reportedly made their first move for Julian Alvarez as they look to add more attacking reinforcement ahead of the next season. Hansi Flick’s men did wander in 2025-26. They secured a domestic double, including the La Liga title, despite the club battling financial woes.
Now, Barcelona looks keen on landing some new players when the summer transfer window opens in June. The Catalan side has had their sights set on Alvarez since last season. However, nothing could be done due to the financial limitations. But this time, Barcelona have already explored the options to sign the Atletico Madrid winger.
Barcelona set to submit first offer for Julian Alvarez
As claimed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona have taken their first step for Julian Alvarez, who may leave Atletico Madrid at the end of the season. The Argentine forward has reportedly conveyed his decision to the club, which supposedly served as a green signal for Barcelona. Romano, though, didn’t reveal many details about the offer; it reportedly involves no player swap. Barcelona will approach Atletico Madrid with the offer in anytime soon.

Will Julian Alvarez join Barcelona this summer?
Earlier, when rumours of his Barcelona Move surfaced, reports suggested that Alvarez had turned down an offer from the La Liga champions. The situation is quite different this time, though. Alvarez, who has a market value of between €90 million and €110 million, may rethink the offer if he sees his future away from Madrid. Neither Barca nor the player has shared anything on the development.
Barcelona Signs Anthony Gordon from Newcastle
With the transfer window yet to open, Barcelona has reportedly secured the signature of Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon. Both parties have already reached an agreement as Barca sealed the deal at 70 million euros ($81 million) plus 10 million euros in bonuses. The Premier League side has accepted the offer, but club confirmation awaits.
