THis campaign to become Barcelona’s new president has already begun, and it promises to be a month full of surprises. Members of the Catalan club are set to go to the polls on March 15, and Joan Laporta’s replacement has already taken his place. According to MARCA, one of the names frequently heard in this election is Julian Alvarez.
The Atletico Madrid striker, who has not lived up to the expected level this season, could change his tune this summer, with at least one presidential candidate already contacting the player’s inner circle to make him their star signing next season.
Going into the campaign with a player of this caliber would be more than a coup d’état, especially given Lewandowski’s likely departure and Barcelona need a partner for Ferran Torres up front, who will be left alone in that position.Julien’s situation at Atletico Madrid has been complicated this season. Despite being a starter, he had lost some of his form at the club, not finding his way to goal easily. Atlético paid big for the Manchester City striker and won’t let him leave easily, but Barcelona have plenty of sporting arguments to make in order to win over the player, which is key in this style of operation. What is important is that Julian’s name plays a large role in the election campaign, which is expected to become even more active.
