Barcelona has reportedly identified a striking talent from La Liga rivals Atlético Madrid as a potential acquisition for the upcoming summer transfer window.
The player in focus is Alexander Sørloth.
FC Barcelona is anticipated to strengthen its attacking department ahead of the next season, especially given the uncertain futures of current forwards Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.
Consequently, the Catalan giants have been linked with numerous goal-scoring options from various European leagues.
As recently reported, one such prominent target has now been revealed.
According to market insider Matteo Moretto, who spoke with Marca, Barcelona’s sporting director Deco and the club’s transfer committee have set their sights on Atlético Madrid’s powerful forward, Alexander Sørloth.
The report highlights that the Norwegian, whose contract with Atlético extends until 2028, is attractive to Barcelona due to his technical attributes, which are seen as similar to Robert Lewandowski, and his potential to seamlessly integrate into Hansi Flick’s tactical system.
