Amid uncertainty surrounding the futures of all of Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford, the Blaugrana are scouring the market for a player capable of making a difference in front of goal.
To date, the name most heavily linked with a Camp Nou switch has been Julián Alvarez.
In the knowledge that striking a deal with their counterparts at Atlético Madrid will prove no easy task, though, Barca are also eyeing more affordable backup options.

And as alluded to above, this week, one such option has been highlighted in the form of Junior Kroupi.
As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, citing the Daily Mail:
‘Barcelona have joined the list of major clubs interested in Kroupi. The youngster’s impressive performances have also reportedly attracted the attention of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and
Chelsea.’
Deco and the Camp Nou board have long been keeping a close eye on Kroupi’s development, dating back to his days with Lorient.
Across the season to date, the attacker, still just 19, has racked up an impressive 12 goals in 30 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth.
