Deco Turns to 100m Kroupi as Alvarez Route Closes for BarcelonaDiario Sport report that Barcelona have put Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi back on their striker shortlist after Atletico Madrid refused to enter negotiations over Julian Alvarez, leaving Deco searching for alternatives before the season begins.Atletico Shut The Door On AlvarezBarcelona submitted a bid for the Argentina international earlier this summer, but Atletico have consistently insisted the player is not available. The situation has reached a standstill: Joan Laporta has signalled the club will move on if nothing changes by the end of the month, a position that effectively sets an informal deadline on a saga that has already run for several weeks.Julian Alvarez during a match for Atletico Madrid.Atleticos firm stance is not entirely surprising. Atletico have consistently insisted the player is not available., and the club have been insisting Alvarez is not for sale.Kroupi Back In The Frame At 100 MillionKroupi, a 20-year-old forward who has been touted as a potential alternative throughout the summer, has featured on Barcelonas radar throughout the summer as a contingency option.

Barcelona are aware Junior Kroupi is keen to play for them if the opportunity arises, though player enthusiasm alone will not shift a club that has explicitly set its price and stuck to it.Barcelonas Striker Search Running Short On TimeThe broader picture is one of a summer that has not gone to plan in attack. Barcelonas pursuit of Alvarez was always complicated by Atleticos resistance, yet yet the club pressed on. Pivoting to Kroupi at 100 million would depend on whether Barcelona can meet Bournemouths 100 million valuation this summer neither of which is guaranteed.If Atletico hold firm through the end of July and Bournemouth do not soften their valuation, Barcelona face the uncomfortable prospect of beginning the season without a recognised centre-forward of genuine pedigree. Deco will need to find a solution before the season begins..
