Another option is Julian Alvarez, who has been a talismanic figure for Atletico Madrid, scoring 36 goals and providing 11 assists in just 66 games. He has a versatile skill set and has slotted seamlessly into his new team, making him a dream capture for Barcelona.

However, the club may also consider more traditional target men, such as Harry Kane, who has been sensational for Bayern Munich, scoring 18 goals in 10 games this season. While he may be 33 years old, he has shown that he can still be an effective goal-scorer, and the service from his teammates would likely be even better at Barcelona.

Another option is Serhou Guirassy, who has scored 44 goals in all competitions since joining Borussia Dortmund from Stuttgart. His release clause will drop significantly next summer, making him a more affordable option for the club.
