Barcelona reportedly have their eye on Sporting CP forward Luis Suárez, in case the deal for Julián Álvarez falls through. Barcelona are reportedly lining up Luis Suárez of Sporting CP as a fallback option if their pursuit of Julián Álvarez doesn’t come together, according to Fabrizio Romano. With Atlético Madrid refusing to engage in talks for their Argentine striker, Barcelona appear to be hedging their bets rather than leaving their attacking rebuild entirely dependent on one deal. The situation with Álvarez remains complicated. Atlético have set his release clause at €500 million and have shown no willingness to negotiate below that figure, even as tension continues to build between the player and manager Diego Simeone over his desire to leave. With that deal still far from resolved, Barcelona are said to be exploring alternatives to avoid being left without reinforcements up front. Suárez, a 28-year-old Colombian forward, joined Sporting from Almería in the summer of 2025 and carries a considerably more modest release clause of €80 million — a price Barcelona view as fair for a player coming off one of the most productive seasons of any striker in Europe. For now, Álvarez remains Barcelona’s clear priority, particularly with Robert Lewandowski’s departure to MLS and Ferran Torres’ move to PSG both freeing up space up front. But with Suárez now on their radar as insurance, Barcelona appear determined not to let their attacking plans hinge entirely on Atlético’s willingness to negotiate. 🚨🔵🔴 EXCLUSIVE: Barcelona consider Sporting striker Luis Suárez among options — if Julián Álvarez deal doesn’t happen.Not easy as key player for Sporting but part of Barça shortlist.Barça will only consider Suárez/more options from next week — if Julián deal is still off. pic.twitter.com/LFPEuCW056— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 14, 2026 Adding another layer to the situation, Arsenal have also refused to step away from the race for Álvarez, positioning themselves through sporting director Andrea Berta — a former Atlético executive — to move quickly if Barcelona’s pursuit ultimately collapses. Suárez’s standout season in Portugal Suárez’s rise has been built on an extraordinary debut campaign in Portugal. He finished the 2025-26 season with 38 goals in all competitions, including 28 in the league alone, claiming the Primeira Liga’s Golden Boot and a spot on the league’s Team of the Season. That form carried him into Colombia’s squad for the 2026 World Cup, though his tournament didn’t mirror his club success. Suárez went scoreless throughout the entire tournament, as Colombia advanced all the way to the Round of 16 before falling to Switzerland on penalties.

Osimhen is once again on Arsenal’s radar (Picture: Seskim Photo/MB Media/Getty Images) AC Milan have made an offer to sign Arsenal midfielder Ethan Nwaneri with Ruben Amorim eager to bring him to Italy this summer. Six months after being relieved of his duties at Manchester United, Amorim is leading a rebuild at the Rossoneri with seven members of the first-team squad said to have been put up for sale. Portugal star Goncalo Ramos has already been recruited to lead the attack with Amorim keen to strengthen in a number of areas. Nwaneri, among the clutch of players at the Emirates that Arsenal would be prepared to sell this summer, has also emerged as a top target with Milan making their first move this week.

Gazzetta dello Sport report an initial loan offer with an option to buy for €40million (£34m) has been submitted although Arsenal have not yet considered the offer. Galatasaray have also held talks over a move for the Hale End academy graduate, who spend the second-half of last season out on loan at Marseille. The Turkish giants are eager to sign the 19-year-old and have also submitted a £38m offer for another Arsenal star in Gabriel Martinelli. During talks over those two potential deals, Arsenal have also discussed the possibility of signing Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray. It remains to be seen if any possible move could be tied to the futures of Nwaneri and Martinelli. Nwaneri also wanted by Galatasaray (Picture: Arsenal FC via Getty Images) Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history when he made his debut for Arsenal in 2022, but it was not until the 2024-25 season when he established himself as a regular member of Mikel Arteta’s first-team squad. Gala have also made a bid for Martinelli (Picture: Stuart MacFarlane/Arsenal FC via Getty Images) Nwaneri made 37 appearances for his boyhood club that season and was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award while being rewarded with a new long-term contract. The 19-year-old was expected to continue to contribute last season but only featured in six league games before being sent on loan to Marseille in January. The loan was a disappointing one, making just nine appearances. Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
The 41-year-old has been remarkably consistent with his look down the years but, with his fresh trim, it would now be hard to tell him apart from his old Manchester United team-mate Paul Scholes.
