FC Barcelona’s decision to sign Julian Alvarez
Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland
FC Barcelona is beginning to plan the future of the club already at the end of the year. The transfer market is about to start and the club hopes to strengthen its lines, mainly taking into account that elements like Lewandowski are not having the best of performances. Given this situation, the profile of Julian Alvarez appears, which Xavi really likes, according to what SPORT shares.
The Argentine striker is a clear target for Xavi Hernández for his project, especially starting next summer, but he is also very aware of how far Barça is right now from being able to bid for his signing. The Argentine is starting his second season at Manchester City, he was already renewed in the summer to improve his record after only one year, and he also continues to grow and demonstrate that he can be a generational striker.
Lewandowski, despite having a contract until June 30, 2026, is in his second season at Barcelona and his final year at the club is subject to certain playing requirements. At 35 years old and with uncertainty about his continuity, Barça is seriously considering the search for a replacement. Although the Pole has demonstrated his quality on the field and his commitment to the team, his presence in the squad cannot be taken for granted.
Xavi approves the arrival of Julian Alvarez
According to SPORT, Xavi Hernandez really considers the arrival of Julian Alvarez as a clear objective for the future of the Blaugrana club. The sports management is evaluating options and considers Julián Álvarez a market opportunity, but City’s resistance and Guardiola’s admiration for the attacker could complicate a possible negotiation. However, Julian is aware that while Haaland is there, his situation as a reference is complicated, even if he has minutes in another position.
