I am in principle, against any transfers with Cerezo & Atletico but Alvarez is perhaps the ideal #9 in Flick's tactical setup. Elite pressing forward & positional versatility makes him a master of triggering team-wide traps. Vertical, great goalscoring instincts, excellent in link up play across forward line and probably the best pressing forward currently in the game
A 100M or more though? Even if we theoretically have earmarked as much (Perhaps Torres going in the other direction to bring the fee down) but again bailing out Rojiblancos is something I would rather avoid - we have only been fleeced in dealings with them
But, the Argentine is as logical a fit for this Barça as is Bastoni - they seem like the most obvious targets but both will be complex transactions irrespective of 1:1. When you have been saving money for years and chomping at the transfer bit to land targets worthy of Barça, would hate to see us blow our load recklessly. Yet, these two alone may be enough to really elevate Barça from the rest of football
