The Barcelona presidential election is just around the corner and it is going to be a key one, as Joan Laporta potentially failing to win may significantly alter the direction the club are heading towards. Laporta's biggest adversary is Victor Font, who has received support from Xavi Hernandez and has a better relationship with Lionel Messi. If Font wins the election, he is ready to take some drastic steps, which may include the decision to sack one of Barcelona's most important executives.

Even though Alvarez's form has been on a decline over the past couple of months or so, Barça are convinced about the World Cup winner's quality. Moreover, he is understood to be the top preference of the Blaugrana president, Joan Laporta. As such, the La Liga champions are prepared to make the efforts necessary to rope in the 25-year-old in the summer, although much will depend on whether they are back to the 1:1 Financial Fair Play rule by then.

Indeed, according to SPORT, Deco met with Dani Olmo's agent, Andy Bara, in Barcelona to review the injured midfielder's current situation and lay a roadmap for his recovery. The Spanish international has been struggling with a series of injuries this season, though both the club and his camp remain calm. If his progress continues, he could be back on the pitch within a week or two. As per the report, the meeting was positive, reflecting the strong relationship between the parties.
