At Camp Nou, they are already thinking beyond next summer. While the signing of Nico Williams is shaping up to be the major offensive operation of the current market, the sports management of FC Barcelona has already outlined a medium-term strategy to fill a void that will mark the end of an era: the farewell of Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker, a goal-scoring reference since his arrival in 2022, is expected to leave the club at the end of his contract in 2026. And on Barcelona's radar, there is already a clear name to replace him: Julián Álvarez.

The interest in the Argentine international is not new but has gained strength after his breakthrough at Atlético Madrid. In his first year with the colchoneros, Álvarez had a dazzling season with almost 30 goals to his name, drawing the attention of several European giants. However, Barcelona sees him as a key piece to start a new offensive phase under the command of Hansi Flick.

Barcelona wants to sign Julián Álvarez in 2026

With Lewandowski nearing 37 years old and with no renewal offer on the horizon, everything points to the 2025-26 season being his last as a blaugrana. Although his performance remains competitive, the club wants to anticipate his departure and ensure a gradual transition. The possibility of the Pole heading to Arabian football has also accelerated internal processes.

Currently, Atlético has no intention of letting go of their star forward, but from Barcelona, they remain attentive to any developments. Joan Laporta sees Álvarez as a strategic opportunity, while Deco is considering alternatives to not jeopardize the future. There is still time, but Barcelona already knows who they want as their next '9'.
