I’ve never seen a Barcelona transfer target receive this much support from inside the club. Julián Álvarez seems to have everyone’s backing.
- Laporta and Deco want him.
- Flick wants him.
- Pedri has wanted him for a long time and has said it more than once.
- Fermín and Gavi even liked his interview on social media.
- De Jong has publicly said he wants him.
- Gavi has called him one of the best players in the world and said he’d love him at Barça.
- Marc Bernal and Pau Cubarsí have also publicly expressed their desire to see him join the club.
Can you imagine? More than nine first-team players have openly spoken about wanting the club to sign a player from another team.
I genuinely can’t remember anything like this happening before.
🚨 Luis Suarez: "I feel like Barça need a reference striker, like Lewandowski was, alongside the work that Ferran Torres does."
"If you score a couple of goals in your first matches, you set the bar high, and people will always expect that."
"I feel like there are many strikers who could do well at Barça, but we'll see after the World Cup."
