If the Julian Alvarez deal falls through and Barcelona fail to sign him due to Atletico Madrid's insistence on keeping the young Argentine striker and blocking Barcelona's path, the Catalan club is ready to turn its attention to another top-class star to be the alternative to the Alvarez deal.

Barcelona find a potential alternative to the Julian Alvarez deal!

Per Fabrizio Romano on X, Barcelona's hierarchy would turn to another promising forward should the Julián Álvarez deal collapse.

In recent weeks, the Catalans have been tracking Bournemouth's Junior Kroupi as a possible attacking reinforcement.

The Frenchman also drew an inquiry from Manchester City earlier this month.

Still, Bournemouth have no intention of offloading their young talent and insist he will not be sold in the current window.

Kroupi is under contract until 2030, with Transfermarkt valuing him at €70 million.
