Marca says Alvarez's impact has brought him to the attention of Barca chiefs.
The Spanish giants see Álvarez as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski, 36.
The Pole's contract with Barcelona expires after next season - and Barcelona is looking for an heir to the veteran.
However, it will be difficult for Barcelona to sign Álvarez this summer.
Back in mid-March, Atlético Madrid's sporting director, Carlos Bucero, said that the club had no intention whatsoever of selling the Argentine.
Álvarez's contract with Atlético Madrid extends until the summer of 2030.
