Barcelona is preparing a fresh €150 million bid for Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez. This comes after the Spanish club's initial €100 million offer was rejected.
According to journalist Jose Alvarez Haya, who spoke on El Chiringuito TV, the La Liga leaders are structuring a new proposal for the Argentine striker. Performance-based bonuses and add-ons would push the total package to €150 million.
Alvarez, a former Manchester City player, is understood to be interested in joining Barcelona. He's at a critical point in his transfer saga.
Head coach Hansi Flick wants to bolster his attacking options at Camp Nou. Barcelona appears willing to test Atletico Madrid's willingness to negotiate with an improved offer.
A €150 million deal would rank among football's most expensive transfers ever. It represents a significant jump from the figures previously discussed.
Barcelona tabled a €100 million bid for Alvarez weeks ago, multiple reports claimed. However, Atletico Madrid publicly denied receiving any such proposal.
Negotiations remain uncertain and complex at this stage. But Barcelona continues pushing forward to land one of its primary summer targets.
