Barcelona are working on alternative options to strengthen their attacking line.
According to İdman.Biz, the Catalan club could turn their attention to Sporting forward Luis Suárez if a move for Julián Álvarez fails to materialise. The 28-year-old Colombian is one of the candidates being considered by the club.
A transfer for Luis Suárez does not appear straightforward either, as the Colombian is currently one of Sporting's key players. The forward is under contract with the Portuguese club until 2030.
Barcelona are expected to focus fully on the Álvarez deal in the coming days. If there is no progress, the club could take more concrete steps regarding Luis Suárez and other alternatives from next week.
The Catalan club have other candidates on their list as they search for a centre-forward. Lautaro Martínez and Georges Mikautadze have also been linked with Barcelona in recent days.
