Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez has reportedly laid bare his transfer demands to manager Diego Simeone, with Barcelona said to be in the market for a forward.

The Argentine has been in fine form for Los Rojiblancos since his arrival, and his performances have not gone unnoticed by Europe's elite.

Barcelona have been linked with a number of strikers in recent windows, and it appears as though Alvarez has become their number one target. It remains to be seen whether the Catalan club can negotiate a deal, but they will be hopeful of bolstering their squad in the summer transfer window.
