Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has made contact with Atlético Madrid star Julián Alvarez, to gauge the Argentine’s interest in a potential move to Catalunya’s capital.
This of course comes amid mounting speculation surrounding a potential joining of forces between the parties this summer.
Barcelona are widely expected to add to their options at centre-forward with a view to next season, amid uncertainty surrounding the futures of both Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.
And Alvarez is viewed as option no.1, a perfect fit in the all-action setup of Hansi Flick.
In turn, it should come as little surprise to hear of the Blaugrana’s headmaster actively pushing for the World Cup winner’s signature.
As per a report from El Chiringuito TV:
“Hansi Flick has called Julián Alvarez,” in an effort to entice the former Manchester City man into a Camp Nou switch.
It is also noted, though, that:
“It’s not the only call the Argentine has received from a coach…”
