FC Barcelona is exploring options to replace Robert Lewandowski, focusing on Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid and Harry Kane from Bayern Munich. Álvarez, 26, is desired due to his versatility and winning experience, but Atlético has rejected Barcelona's €100 million offer, complicating negotiations.
