Hansi Flick prioritizes new striker for FC Barcelona ahead of 2026/2027

FC Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has identified the signing of a new number 9 as his top priority for the 2026/2027 season. This comes after the team completed a domestic double on May 23 and aims to capture their first Champions League title since 2015. With Robert Lewandowski set to leave at the end of June, Barca has reportedly made a $116 million bid for Julian Alvarez, who has agreed to a five-year contract. As an alternative, Bayern Munich's Harry Kane is also being considered, but negotiations will begin at a $90 million mark. Before adding more players, key departures from the current squad will be necessary to create space for new signings.
