Julián Álvarez, the unexpected option for the forward of FC Barcelona

The market of signings of the summer of 2024 aims to be one of the most promising of the last years. Several important footballers could change of airs, already was by 'descarte' of his clubs, by ending of agreement or by the wish of new challenges. Precisely, this last reason would have promoted to Julián Álvarez to request his exit of the Manchester City after two seasons in England.

The Argentinian has not been able to win the condition of 'indisputable' in the eleven headline of Pep Guardiola, especially by the presence of Erling Haaland in the centre of the forward, by what would be looking for the opportunity to have a role protagónico in any of the most important teams of the continent. According to the journalist Marcos Benito of 'The Chiringuito', the Argentinian already would have given him to know to the 'citizens' his wish to test luck in other horizons.

When finalising the season 2023/24, the forward refused the possibility to improve his agreement with the entity 'skyblue', which expires in 2028. This refusal left clear that Álvarez 'tired' to expect his opportunity in the bench and would be by the work to do the cases to a new destination. To achieve this, the one of Calchín would have asked him to the 'citizens' that valúen his traspaso in a logical available price, avoiding like this the 'huída' of some important club.

One of these could be the FC Barcelona. The Catalan entity is in research to reinforce his forward, since Robert Lewandowski is near to fulfil the 36 years, and Julián could present like an opportunity of market. However, the priority of the culés would be the signing of an extreme, with Nico Williams like main candidate in the City Condal.

Hard competition for the Barça

If the Catalan entity decides to launch to by the Argentinian, will have to compete with other powers of the football to do with the services of Álvarez. One of her would be Paris Saint-Germain, where look for to give a hit of effect in the forward after the exit of Kylian Mbappé and Julián would fit in the profile that would want to Luis Enrique, by what would be had to do an important offer to the City and to the footballer to convince them and concretise the signing of the ariete.
