Report: Barcelona turn full focus to No 9 after major double deal

Barcelona have shifted their focus to securing a center-forward after a major double deal involving Ferran Torres' move to Paris Saint-Germain and Rodri's arrival from Manchester City. The Catalan club has reached an important juncture in their transfer window, with a clear sense of direction and purpose. While Torres' departure represents a financial success for Barcelona, the club acknowledges the need for a dependable center-forward to maintain their competitive edge.

With Rodri strengthening the midfield, Julian Alvarez remains the primary target for Barcelona's new manager, Hansi Flick, who prefers an experienced reinforcement over raw talent. Joao Cancelo's free transfer to Barcelona adds valuable versatility and experience to their backline.
