Within the background, the membership are additionally concerned within the race for Julian Alvarez. However with Atletico Madrid exhibiting no need to promote, the Blaugrana might must look elsewhere quickly.
That’s maybe why a number of prime strikers throughout Europe have provided themselves to Barcelona this summer time, together with Victor Osimhen. But it surely appears the membership produce other plans.
Not a precedence goal for Barcelona
In response to Carlos Monfort of SPORT, Osimhen has by no means been a precedence or a real choice for Barcelona at any stage this summer time.

Barcelona merely don’t consider Osimhen suits the footballing context they’re searching for, regardless of him having been provided to the membership on a number of events.
Monfort was unequivocal in his evaluation, refusing to connect any actual likelihood to a transfer materialising. In his view, the Osimhen hyperlink is one to be dismissed solely, with the striker not that includes in Barcelona’s real plans.
Alvarez stays the precedence

The Argentine stays the person Deco and Hansi Flick need above all others, regardless that Atletico proceed to insist he isn’t on the market.
Barcelona are hopeful the participant himself can power the difficulty upon his return to pre-season, however they’re conscious time is operating out.
Ought to the Alvarez pursuit finally fail, Barcelona have options in thoughts, with the likes of Fisnik Asllani providing a youthful, extra reasonably priced profile that higher fits their mannequin.
A standard, costly centre-forward like Osimhen, nevertheless, doesn’t seem to align with their imaginative and prescient.
