Not only Julián Álvarez, the Argentine who wants Barcelona and is not Messi

Barcelona, as Diego Armando Maradona once said, did not pay its idols well. And that was demonstrated in recent years with Lionel Messi, the best player in the world and the greatest of all time, who was not treated well in the final years of his contract. He was not renewed, no effort was made to sign him back and the smackdown they wanted to do now backfired. Given all these negative things, Culé wants Julián Álvarez and another world champion.

The 23-year-old genius is wanted by Barça, according to what the Sport media reported and what Ekrem Konur, a journalist specialized in the European transfer market, said. However, now it is known that the Catalan team not only has La Araña in the pipeline for what is to come, but also has its sights set on another world champion, who now does not have as much prominence in the team but who knew how to be a important piece every time Lionel Scaloni needed it.

In this context, the Spanish team led by Xavi wants to reinforce itself with players that it knows can perform in difficult moments, in important matches, in defining duels. Of course, it was in those types of matches where the team that once with Leo Messi had known how to win with ease faltered the most. Maybe that's why they tried a chokehold trying to get him out of Inter Miami (something they didn't achieve and which made them look ridiculous).

The other world champion that Barcelona wants

Just as he gave the scoop that Barcelona was interested in Julián Álvarez, now Ekrem Konur assured that the Catalan team has Guido Rodríguez in its portfolio, the 29-year-old midfielder who is breaking it at Real Betis. He has a market value of 29 million euros, according to Transfermarkt, although it remains to be seen if Barça can pay that or if they try to take him for less. The idea is to sign him in the European winter market, that is, in January.
