"It's election season in Barcelona which means all the presidential candidates are doing their best to win votes and curry favor. Victor Font is the latest to speak out about potential incomings, telling reporters that a big-name striker signing should not be ruled out. He told Mundo Deportivo: "If things are done right, Haaland or Julián Álvarez are possible.""
"Barcelona are regularly linked with both strikers even though they both possess lofty price tags. Joan Laporta is said to be obsessed with signing Haaland but he's currently contracted to Manchester City until 2034. Álvarez is thought to be another dream of Laporta's, but he is expected to cost over 100 million euros if he does move on from Atletico."
"Barcelona fans are used to seeing the club linked with big-name superstars but would probably be more interested to hear from Font on how the club could afford to land players such as Haaland and Álvarez given their continued financial issues."
Election season in Barcelona has prompted public statements about possible incoming players and transfer ambitions. Erling Haaland and Julián Álvarez are identified as potential target strikers if conditions are handled correctly. Both players present major financial challenges: Haaland is contracted to Manchester City until 2034, while Álvarez would likely require a fee in excess of €100 million to leave Atlético. The club continues to be linked with high-profile superstars despite ongoing fiscal limitations. Significant questions remain about how transfers of that scale could be financed given current financial constraints.
