With every passing day, the future of the striker Robert Lewandowski at FC Barcelona is becoming increasingly uncertain. The Pole has only a few days left on his contract, and it is looking highly likely that he would not continue, despite having a contract on the table.

Meanwhile, the Catalans are also looking for a replacement of the Pole, and as things stand, their favorite candidate for this role is the Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez.

However, getting him from the Colchoneros was not going to be easy, and as things stand, the involvement of Paris Saint-Germain make this operation even more difficult for the Blaugranes.

In this regard, a report from Mundo Deportivo claims that the Parisians are willing to make an offer exceeding the €100 million the Catalans are prepared to pay for the forward. Furthermore, even if this was not the case, Atletico would be more willing to sell their star to a club that is not one of their direct rivals in La Liga.

Thus, Barcelona understand how difficult it would be to get Julian Alvarez this summer, and are already keeping some alternatives in mind, mainly the Chelsea forward Joao Pedro.
