Julián Álvarez has emerged as a key target in Barcelona’s upcoming presidential elections. The Argentine striker is seen as a potential star signing to attract voters and lead the club’s next project.
Underlined in red. This is how Julián Álvarez‘s name appears in the face of the upcoming elections of Barcelona. An electoral claim more than powerful to attract voters and to lead a project with the Argentine at the head. His irruption in LaLiga has been more than remarkable (27 goals contemplate him) and the Blaugrana need a forward thinking about a future… without Lewandowski.
With the Polish star giving his penultimate kicks, the figure of a 9 that replaces his success will be capital for a long-term project in which the youth of first-rate talents such as Lamine, Pedri or Cubarsí guarantees the right names to mark an era in the coming years. Missing, written was, who occupies the most capital position in any project: that of scorer.
And there, while the tree of who will appear before Laporta moves, the name of the Spider has already been slipped, without a doubt the best signing of a year in which everything seemed that it was going to be focused on Mbappé but in which the 19 rojiblanco has stolen part of the quota of protagonism.
Difficult to lure away
It will not be an easy task to take Julián away from the Metropolitano. Fully adapted to the club and to the city, the world champion is convinced that he has taken the right step to lead a project like that of Atlético. He already knows what it is to win everything at Manchester City but others took the spotlight that together with Simeone are only for him.
As if that were not enough, he has Griezmann to explain how difficult it was for him to take the air bridge, stop being the star to play with other galácticos… and miss so much what was his home until he ended up returning. And Atlético? He knows that his greatest sporting value is Julián and no one thinks that he will not remain united to them.
The potential signing of Julián Álvarez would be a major statement of intent from any Barcelona presidential candidate, but convincing him to leave Atlético Madrid will be a difficult task.
