Barcelona had a summer transfer window that brought significant changes to their attack. The departures of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres left the club without a number nine.
Although Gabriel Jesus arrived and Raphinha has adapted brilliantly to a central role, the long-term striker role remains an important consideration. The Catalans explored several options during the transfer window, including Julian Alvarez, Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Tresoldi, but none of the moves panned out.
According to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sport Germany, one interesting option that attracted concrete interest from Barça in the closing days of the window was Nicolo Tresoldi.
