Barcelona’s summer rebuild is starting to take shape, and their ambitions stretch well beyond the deal edging closer for Karim Adeyemi.
According to EPL Index, the Borussia Dortmund winger is nearing a move to Camp Nou, giving Hansi Flick fresh attacking depth on the flanks. But that deal is reportedly being viewed internally as just the opening act.
The report claims Barcelona's genuine dream target remains Julian Alvarez, the Atletico Madrid forward whose quality has long caught the eye of the club's hierarchy. While no formal move is described as imminent, the Argentine is said to represent the kind of statement signing Barcelona hope to pursue once their finances allow.
It's a familiar story for a club balancing tight budgets with big ambition — securing a solid, achievable target in Adeyemi while continuing to plot for a marquee arrival further down the line. Whether Alvarez ever becomes realistic remains to be seen, but per EPL Index, he's firmly on Barcelona's radar as their ultimate summer prize.
