Barcelona considers striker signing as window deadline approaches

Summary

Barcelona is exploring options to strengthen their center-forward position as the transfer window nears its end. With Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres recently departing, the team currently lacks senior attacking depth. The club has focused on signing Julián Alvarez from Atlético Madrid, but sources indicate that if a deal cannot be finalized soon, Barcelona may enter the season with their existing squad. Transfer journalist Nil Sola reports that the club does not believe other available players would improve their team if the Alvarez acquisition fails.
