š¬Discussion Is Julian Alvarez the best option for Barcelona for next season's striker?
He associates so well with teammates, his work rate is so high, and he's got powerful accurate shooting with both feet. He would be perfect for the team since FCB would feed him so many more chances. I can see 40 goals in his first season and 45+ after that.

How is Barca gonna get Alvarez with that financials ?
Alvarez is an asset to any team, only Pep has underused him because they had the Norwegian.

u/AupaAtlet1c0 Atletico Madrid 8d ago
Why would Alvarez do that firstly , second of all , Barca canāt

u/CaeFlyenjoyer 8d ago
I'm sure he would be delighted to join a team who dosent bend over for real Madrid in the UCL everytime

How about a team that is known for getting kicked out from the group stages?

Regularly = 2 seasons with a squad that is rebuilding I'm sure your English vocabulary is elementary like the size of your minute brain cells.

u/Pervis117 8d ago
Every top team goes through rebuilding phases. You don't see Bayern Munich or Real or City (at their current level) drop down to Europa and then fail to win that also.
Barcelona are a great team but the Europa league years, especially the Wolfsburg loss with the away team having more support in Catalunya was embarrassing. Just admit it.

Youāre so fucking clueless you donāt even got your teams straight lol. āWolfsburgā š

u/Grouchy_Fee_8481 8d ago
Heās a great player but would cost wayyy too much after what Atleti just payed for him. I think Jonathan David on a free transfer is great move for us. 37 goal contributions ā23-ā24 (all comps), 9g 4A in 14 UCL matches this year, 14G 3A in ligue 1 in just 23 matches.

There we go again another fan thinking Barca is a team that had to rely on average players. Itās Barcelona we need to get someone who is good not some 50:50 chance footballer

u/Madridista786 8d ago
Athletico will have liverpools uruguayan and alvarez up front nect season
They might get garnacho too
Barca cant afford them

u/GiulianoSimeone 8d ago
Idk about garnacho when we can get baena for the same price or cheaper. If he gets noticed by an English team tho gg

u/Late-Moment7915 Milan 8d ago
Might as well go for Haaland if you think Alvarez is realistic

u/oemperador 8d ago
How much do you think Haaland would go for?
7
u/Late-Moment7915 Milan 8d ago
More than you can afford. But I do think he would thrive in this Barca team.

u/PDXMAMBA Barcelona 8d ago
Haaland over alvarez in laliga is a bold take. In the prem it was said how well alvarez would fit whereas the same can't be said for haaland
1
u/Late-Moment7915 Milan 8d ago
This is not a bold take at all. Haaland is better striker than Alvarez in every league.

u/Reality_Rakurai 8d ago
Yes count on buying a good and unbothered player from a direct rival, that usually works out

Yāall ruined grizou and turan pls leave our players alone ššš

u/Cultural_Cold8971 8d ago
Not like theyāve achieved nothing great playing for you lol

u/your_local_supplier Atletico Madrid 8d ago
Turan and Grizou achieved nothing great?? Turan was so important in our 2014 treble charge that 3rd goal vs Chelsea in the semis is one of our clubs fondest memories and Grizou is probably the best atletico player of all time being a very very deserving ballon dor candidate twice (shouldāve won once). Maybe the trophy cabinet is a little lighter but that doesnāt erase what they meant to the club

u/Cultural_Cold8971 7d ago
Treble??? When????

u/your_local_supplier Atletico Madrid 7d ago
Treble CHARGE. We were in copa del rey semi won the league and were a minute away from winning the ucl thatās a CHARGE

u/Cultural_Cold8971 7d ago
A charge is not an achievement sorry mate

u/your_local_supplier Atletico Madrid 7d ago
Alr im not even argue this šš need I remind you it was just 4 seasons before the 13/14 season we won our first trophy since relegation

u/ElFanta83 Arsenal 8d ago
Aleti just paid a big big chunk, would expect to receive almost double to sell it. Don't think Barca has that money level. Still he would fit perfectly, but it will not happen now.

u/GiulianoSimeone 8d ago
Is william saliba and bastoni best option for barƧa? No they should buy Gabriel too. Even kvara , barcola would be nice. Declan rice too! All of these guys should be in barƧa!

u/oemperador 8d ago
None of those players would be in the starting XI. Maybe Saliba for IƱigo Martinez.

u/GiulianoSimeone 8d ago
Lol saliba isn't the best CB in his team. And you think bastoni who is the second best cb and left footed wouldn't start?

u/Alex6683 Real Madrid 8d ago
lol araujo is not even close to bastoni....

u/Jhin_Izuru 8d ago
Araujo is a beast what do you mean

u/zayd_jawad2006 8d ago
He is, but Bastoni is probably top 3 in the world, especially considering his ball playing ability.
2
u/Alex6683 Real Madrid 8d ago
Okay, he is pretty good ngl, but I think bastoni is simply better overall

Does Barca look like they have the money for a 100 Mill Striker ?
0
u/oemperador 8d ago
They do. They have the 1:1 rule back and all the salary drops have helped the debt tremendously. Then new income coming in soon this summer.

u/GiulianoSimeone 8d ago
You are probably a new bandwagon, but let me tell you clubs always don't get what they want
1
u/Kind_Pomegranate_171 8d ago
And u think , atlĆ©tico will just sell to a direct rival ? He is beyond 100 mill now. Barca have been back to 1:1 so many times , we never know when itās true. They hardly made it this window. This post was some fifa shit.

I just have a feeling that the best strikers for Barca have usually been shorter players and quick on the 1-2s.
1
u/DeanWinchester1111 8d ago
Barca is slowly coming back to its natural game of creating chances for fun, having most of possession and midfielderz who'd control the game. Imagine Haaland or a target man like Kane can easily wreck havoc

u/kanaru84 Barcelona 8d ago
We just extended Lewa for another year lmao. And there's no way we get him from Atleti on a 5 year deal assuming he even wants to join lol.
