Barcelona is preparing to finalize a historic deal and sign Messi’s teammate and world champion

Barcelona FC is eager to regain its dominance and start the next season with a strong performance. The Catalan club sees the current transfer market as an opportunity to strengthen its squad with world-class players. Despite their confidence in Coach Hansi Flick’s ability to bring out the best in every player, Barcelona recognizes the need for high-profile signings to achieve success.

According to Sport newspaper, Barcelona has set its sights on Julian Alvarez, the Argentine striker from Manchester City. Lionel Messi has praised Alvarez as “amazing,” and the club believes he would be a valuable addition to their team. Alvarez’s impressive performance last season, scoring 19 goals and making 13 assists in 54 matches, has made him an attractive target.

Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, is keen to sign Alvarez to bolster the team’s attack and gain an advantage in the upcoming presidential elections. Laporta had previously promised to extend Messi’s contract, but financial issues led to the player’s departure. Signing Alvarez could be a strategic move to strengthen Barcelona’s attack and appease fans.

Messi has praised Alvarez’s skills, stating, “He was really great in helping us achieve historic glory.” Barcelona hopes to leverage Messi’s endorsement to convince Alvarez to join the team. Coach Flick is reportedly seeking to communicate with Messi to facilitate the transfer.
