Throughout the 2025\u201326 season, Barcelona<\/a> have struggled in terms of goal scoring, as Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres have both experienced a significant dip in form. In response, Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez<\/a> emerged as the ideal solution. However, Atl\u00e9tico Madrid are not very open to letting him leave, forcing to look for alternatives. As a result, the Blaugranas have reportedly turned their attention to Gon\u00e7alo Ramos as a reliable reinforcement in the forward line.<\/p>\n

According to TEAMtalk, the Blaugrana have decided to add Gon\u00e7alo Ramos as a potential transfer target, following Chelsea\u2019s rejection of Jo\u00e3o Pedro. Having fallen out of the starting lineup under head coach Luis Enrique, PSG<\/a> are open to letting the Portuguese forward leave, as Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 has taken over the starting role in attack. Because of this, the Spanish side may not face many obstacles in securing his arrival.<\/p>\n

While Paris Saint-Germain paid \u20ac65M + \u20ac15M in variables to SL Benfica for Gon\u00e7alo Ramos, he has only played 1,532 minutes, in which he has scored 12 goals, falling short of expectations this season. In addition, Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9\u2019s emergence has pushed him into a secondary role, making his departure a real possibility. The Portuguese striker has proven to be a very complete player, fitting well into Hansi Flick\u2019s possession-based style of play.<\/p>\n

Far from being a guaranteed signing, the Blaugrana could be taking a rather uncertain decision. Although he shone at SL Benfica, Gon\u00e7alo has not managed to prove as a difference-maker at PSG, making several mistakes in important matches that ultimately relegated him to a bench role. However, Ramos could represent a strong opportunity if he arrives for an affordable transfer fee, as he has already shown his potential and could flourish under head coach Hansi Flick.<\/p>\n

Gon\u00e7alo Ramos raises doubts, while Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez guarantees goals<\/p>\n

Following numerous inconsistencies in front of goal, Barcelona appear determined to reinforce their attacking line, even being open to letting Ferran Torres and Robert Lewandowski leave, signalling a drastic change. With this in mind, a potential move for Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez of Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/a> for around \u20ac100M had strong consensus, as he is in top form and highly consistent. However, the option of Gon\u00e7alo Ramos raises several doubts.<\/p>\n

Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez has proven to be one of the best forwards in the world, shining with Argentina at the 2022 World Cup and becoming an undisputed starter for Atl\u00e9tico Madrid. Beyond being a goalscorer, he also contributes to collective play, making him compatible with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. It differs from Gon\u00e7alo Ramos, as he has struggled to fit in alongside Kvaratskhelia and Demb\u00e9l\u00e9, often remaining a substitute and missing several clear chances.<\/p>\n

Alongside Ramos\u2019s inconsistency, PSG may not make things easy for Barcelona to sign the Portuguese striker, and his high cost relative to his performances would also be a deterrent. However, if Barcelona manage to secure his arrival on loan, he could become one of the best options available, similar to what they did with Marcus Rashford, unlocking his potential under Hansi Flick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Throughout the 2025\u201326 season, Barcelona have struggled in terms of goal scoring, as Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[179,92,674,1498],"class_list":{"0":"post-17462","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-barcelona","8":"tag-atletico-madrid","9":"tag-barcelona","10":"tag-julian-alvarez","11":"tag-psg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
