Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has suggested that his compatriot Julian Alvarez could move to Barcelona during the summer transfer window. The former striker believes the Atletico Madrid star possesses the tactical intelligence and defensive work rate necessary to replace Robert Lewandowski at the Catalan club. This is reported by Goal.com .
Alvarez is currently on the radar of top European clubs, including Arsenal. However, the Barcelona board sees the Argentine forward as the primary candidate to replace Lewandowski, whose contract is nearing its end. In his interview, Aguero emphasized that Julian would be a valuable signing for any team.
Aguero specifically noted that the forward stands out not only for his goal-scoring but also for his defensive activity. According to him, Alvarez possesses a level of dedication rarely seen in modern strikers and fits perfectly into Barcelona's style of play.
Currently, a transfer for Alvarez, who has recorded 49 goals and 17 assists in 106 matches for Atletico, could be financially complex for Barcelona. Diego Simeone would likely require an offer of over 100 million euros to let his star player go.
