FC Barcelone's coach Hansi Flick has hinted that the club might not sign a new striker if they fail to secure Julian Alvarez from Atlético de Madrid. Flick and the club's president, Joan Laporta, along with director Deco, have agreed to recruit either Alvarez or no one. This decision was reportedly made during a meeting between Flick and the club's directors. Flick has expressed confidence in his current team, stating that they have made 'very good, really very good' transfers during the summer transfer window. If Flick fails to sign Alvarez, he will have to find solutions in attack, using players like Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, Anthony Gordon, or Karim Adeyemi as a centre-forward. Rodri, a new recruit, is set to make his debut against Athletic Bilbao on Thursday.
