Potentially the biggest and most anticipated summer transfer saga could be about to start, with Barcelona reportedly expected to submit their first formal bid for Atlético Madrid striker Julián Alvarez.
According to The Athletic, Barcelona are preparing an opening offer worth somewhere in the region of €100 million ($116 million). Still, that nine-figure bid might not be enough to convince Atlético to let go of their star striker, with reports suggesting they are looking for a fee worth closer to €120 million ($140 million) to consider Alvarez’s departure.
