"He's a great player, and they say he'd fit into Barça's system. He's not a player worth breaking the bank for. First, he'd have to show his willingness to come, and it would have to be at a renewable price."
"Will a centre-forward come? First, we have to win the elections, and then Deco will decide. For now, we have Lewandowski and Ferran. It's not impossible for another one to come, but we'll see; Deco is working on it."
Joan Laporta, the favorite to be re-elected Barcelona president, has addressed speculation about Julian Alvarez joining the club as Robert Lewandowski's long-term replacement. While acknowledging Alvarez as a great player who fits Barcelona's system, Laporta emphasized the club will not spend excessively on him without clear commitment from the Argentine. Laporta expressed preference for retaining Lewandowski and stated that any new forward signing will be decided after the election, with sporting director Deco leading recruitment efforts. The outcome depends on Laporta's election victory, as rival candidate Victor Font plans to replace Deco if elected.
