Barcelona considers Alvarez as Lewandowski's successor; Atletico Madrid sets a price of 150 million euros and will pursue Lautaro if sold.

The latest report from Spanish media "elnacional" reveals that Atletico Madrid is ready for Alvarez to leave, and Simeone wants to sign another Argentine forward, namely Inter Milan's captain Lautaro.

The Spanish media states that Barcelona's top officials greatly admire Alvarez's skills, considering him well-suited to the team's tactical demands and have identified the young star as Lewandowski's heir. Atletico Madrid places great emphasis on youth development; Alvarez is a champion player, and if the club fails to compete for titles, he will choose to leave. Atletico is open to offers for Alvarez, with a valuation of 150 million euros, and will only sell if the asking price is met. Should Atletico receive a substantial transfer fee for Alvarez, they will fully pursue Lautaro, whose price tag from Inter Milan is expected to be around 100 million euros, marking a major potential transfer involving two Argentine forwards.

Alvarez: Currently 25 years old, valued at 100 million euros, standing 1.70 meters tall, right-footed forward, contract valid until 2030. This season in La Liga, he has played 9 matches, scoring 6 goals and providing 1 assist; in the Champions League, he appeared twice, scoring 1 goal and assisting 2, maintaining the excellent form from last season.

Lautaro: Currently 28 years old, valued at 85 million euros, height 1.74 meters, right-footed forward, contract until 2029. This season in Serie A, he has played 7 games, contributing 3 goals and 1 assist; in the Champions League, he appeared twice and scored 3 goals. He is highly motivated, though his finishing can be somewhat inconsistent.

Argentina's current main striker is Alvarez, with Lautaro as a key competitor. Their abilities are close, but their styles differ completely: Alvarez is more technical, while Lautaro is more aggressive. Both may switch clubs after next year's World Cup. Style-wise, Alvarez fits Barcelona well, and Lautaro suits Atletico Madrid. However, Inter Milan is unlikely to let Lautaro go easily; the decision will depend on the player's wishes. Atletico, with several Argentine players and compatriot coach Simeone, will need multiple influencers to persuade him.
