Barcelona's pursuit of a new striker has taken several twists as the transfer window enters its final stretch, with the club casting a wide net in their search for a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski.

According to Cope's Victor Navarro, Lautaro Martinez has re-emerged as Barcelona's priority target. The Inter Milan captain has been linked with a move to the Camp Nou on multiple occasions in the past, and he once again tops the Catalan club's wishlist as they look to bolster their attacking options.

Barcelona's attempts to land Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid appear to be fizzling out, despite sporting director Deco insisting he is still working hard to sign a replacement for Lewandowski before the transfer window closes. With the Alvarez deal looking increasingly unlikely, the club have been forced to explore alternative routes.

Gyokeres 'offering himself' to Barcelona

One intriguing name in the mix is Viktor Gyokeres. Navarro reports that the striker is "offering himself to Barcelona daily," though it remains unclear whether there is concrete interest from the Catalan club's side. Gyokeres' name has surfaced repeatedly throughout the summer, typically in the context of a potential swap deal involving Alvarez moving to Atletico Madrid with Gyokeres heading in the opposite direction. It appears the Swedish forward is keen on securing a move away from his current surroundings.

Tresoldi emerges as dark horse

Perhaps the most interesting name to emerge is Club Brugge's Nicolo Tresoldi. Navarro describes the youngster as "very, very much liked" at Barcelona, suggesting he could be one to watch as the window draws to a close. Diario AS corroborate the interest, reporting that Tresoldi "features prominently" on Barcelona's current shortlist of options and that the club are actively tracking the 21-year-old.

With time running out in the transfer window, Deco and the Barcelona hierarchy face a race against the clock to identify and secure the right forward. Whether they land their top target in Martinez, take a chance on the persistent Gyokeres, or gamble on the promising Tresoldi remains to be seen.
