Furthermore, Fermin Lopez, who missed the World Cup due to injury, also reportedly interacted with the publication.

While social media activity does not necessarily reveal official club positions, fans were quick to notice the gestures and interpret them as a sign of excitement regarding the possibility of seeing Alvarez in a Barcelona shirt.

The report further claims that the positive feeling extends beyond those public interactions.

Within the dressing room, there is a growing belief that Barcelona need another top level forward capable of leading the attack in the post-Lewandowski era. 

Given Alvarez’s age, versatility and proven record in top-level competitions, many view him as an ideal candidate to strengthen Hansi Flick’s project.
