La Liga: Barça dreams of two Atlético Madrid forwards
In search of a successor to Robert Lewandowski, FC Barcelona is interested in the profile of Alexander Sørloth, already targeted by the sporting department to strengthen its attack. A new lead for the Blaugranas, who are also considering Julián Álvarez.
FC Barcelona is already working behind the scenes to prepare for life after Robert Lewandowski. While the path leading to Julián Álvarez remains appealing, another name is beginning to emerge with insistence from the Catalan executives: Alexander Sørloth. According to several sources in Spain, the profile of the Norwegian striker for Atlético Madrid is generating growing interest within the Blaugrana sporting leadership. A first round of inquiries has even been made to assess the feasibility of a potential transfer.
Aged 28 and tied to the Madrid club until 2028, Sørloth presents a profile different from those of the options currently being studied. His physical power, his ability to put pressure on defenses, and his adaptability to several tactical systems particularly appeal to the Barcelona decision-makers, led by Deco.
In an offensive transition, Barça is thus exploring several complementary avenues to refresh its attacking sector. The idea would be to diversify the profiles to offer the coach more options. Now it remains to be seen whether this interest will materialize in the coming months. Between financial constraints and competition on the market, the dossier looks set to be complex. But one thing is certain: FC Barcelona is actively preparing its future attacking line.
