Messi is just another fan of the Barcelona team. While many are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Nico Williams and Dani Olmo to Barcelona, the Argentine legend proposes a different option. This would be, nothing more and nothing less, than a recent Copa America champion and one of the best Manchester City players.
We are talking about Julián Álvarez. The ‘10’ has a lot of faith in the forward of the ‘citizen’ team, because he believes that he is a striker who can make history in the Barcelona team. Right now, his wish could come true, taking into account that the young 24-year-old Argentine would like to leave England this summer.
Leo has been playing with the ‘spider’ for years in the Argentine national team and their relationship on and off the field is quite good. Many people close to Messi say that he reminds him of a young ‘Kun’ Agüero. And the City player stands out for his runs, goal-scoring instinct and willingness to fight for every ball, which is why he would fit well at the top of the FC Barcelona attack.
Julián Álvarez wants to leave Manchester
The Córdoba striker is eager to change teams for the 2024/25 season. On several occasions he has made it clear that he does not feel comfortable with his role at City, because he cannot play the games that are important to him. His words have not pleased the City board or Pep Guardiola at all and that is why from England they point out that the club will study offers this month, because they do not want to have anyone dissatisfied in the team.
However, the minimum amount they will ask for will be 70 million euros, an amount that the Barça board could not assume this season. However, Barça president Joan Laporta sees Julián as the perfect replacement for Robert Lewandowski for 2025. Although everything could get complicated, because Atlético de Madrid and PSG are two clubs that are ahead in the fight to sign the Argentine striker and everything seems to indicate that one of them will sign him this summer. What does seem imminent is his departure from England and it is expected that we will soon know his new destination.
