Julián Álvarez's year at Manchester City was a dream. The Argentine footballer gained more and more prominence and ended up joining the starting team as a playmaker after Kevin De Bruyne's injury. In that position he shone and was awarded the player of the month award at his club. Furthermore, at a collective level, he won five titles and in the last of them - the Club World Cup - he was an absolute figure in the final with a double and an assist.

Now, despite his outstanding performance, Pep Guardiola does not consider him essential and there is some fear about the minutes he will have once De Bruyne and Erling Haaland are fully recovered. For this reason, the Spider could be a name sought in the transfer market and from Barcelona they have already begun to tempt him

It's about Pedri. The Spanish midfielder chatted with the famous Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos and when the latter asked him which player he would sign for Barça, he answered: “I would stay with Haaland. He is a cyborg, he scores a lot of goals, and unfortunately Robert Lewandowski is not going to last until he is 60.” However, he completed his response: "There is also Julián Álvarez, he is a player who is also very good, La Araña is playing very well. I like him."

Now, despite the desire of the former UD Las Palmas player, the truth is that it is not feasible for the Córdoba player to land in Catalonia anytime soon, since he is currently valued at 90 million euros and Barcelona's economic situation would not allow him to pay that.
