Barcelona explores striker options after Lewandowski and Torres departures

Barcelona is currently without a recognized striker following the exits of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres this summer. Manager Hansi Flick is experimenting with various players in training, considering Yamal as a false nine and other options including Dani Olmo, Karim Adeyemi, and Raphinha. The club is pursuing Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, but a deal appears unlikely as Atletico is not looking to sell. Flick may also look to Ebrima Tunkara for future offensive depth, while Hamza Abdelkarim is expected to begin the season with Barca Atletic.
