Barcelona is actively searching for a new striker and has set its sights on Vedat Muriqi (31), currently with Real Mallorca. The club's interest in Muriqi arises as a contingency plan should they be unable to secure their primary target, Julian Alvarez. Muriqi has had an impressive season, netting 21 goals in La Liga, placing him just two goals behind Kylian Mbappe in the race for the Pichichi trophy. Although Muriqi has a release clause of €40 million (approximately $42 million USD), Barcelona is hopeful of negotiating a lower transfer fee, especially if Mallorca faces relegation. The club has reportedly already made inquiries regarding Muriqi's current situation, indicating their serious interest in the striker.
