As Barcelona gears up for the upcoming presidential elections, one name is emerging as a major attraction: JuliĂĄn Ălvarez. According to MARCA, the Argentine forwardâs sensational La Liga form â scoring 27 goals â has captured the attention of the Catalan giants, who are seeking a future-leading striker with Robert Lewandowski approaching the twilight of his career.
Ălvarezâs rise at AtlĂŠtico Madrid has been nothing short of impressive, making him an even more appealing option for a Barcelona side already built around young stars like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Pau CubarsĂ. What they are missing is a consistent, prolific scorer â a role Ălvarez could perfectly fill.
While it remains unclear who will oppose Joan Laporta in the elections, Ălvarez’s name is already being linked to potential new projects aimed at revitalizing Barcelonaâs attack. Though most transfer rumors have centered around Kylian MbappĂŠ, “La AraĂąa” has emerged as one of the marketâs most exciting talents.
Convincing Ălvarez to leave AtlĂŠtico won’t be straightforward. The World Cup winner has adapted well to life in Madrid and feels fully settled at the club. After a stint at Manchester City where he often shared the spotlight, Ălvarez has now become a centerpiece under Diego Simeone.
AtlĂŠtico Madrid are well aware of Ălvarez’s value and will likely fight hard to keep him. Still, with Barcelona needing a long-term successor up front, Ălvarez might just be the missing piece to complete their next great team.
