FC Cincinnati, Barreal's current club, is not willing to part with the player easily, setting a considerable minimum price of at least $6 million. This figure, while representing a significant investment, doesn't seem to deter European clubs who recognize the potential and quality that Barreal can bring to their teams.

The possibility of Álvaro Barreal landing on European soil is not new, as his name had previously been linked to AC Monza. However, now, the race for his signing seems more intense than ever, with RC Lens and a Bundesliga club competing to secure the purchase.
