Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has tipped fellow countryman Julian Alvarez to complete a high-profile move to Barcelona this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Reacting to the names linked as the potential Robert Lewandowski successor at the Camp Nou, Aguero revealed that he believes Alvarez possesses the unique defensive work rate and tactical intelligence required to thrive at Barcelona.
Stressing that the Argentine forward offers far more than just goalscoring, Sergio added that Julian’s defensive contributions set him apart from other modern strikers.
His words, “Julian would be a good signing for any team today. For Barca obviously everything depends on whether he feels comfortable. There is the player side and the club side. If things go well he’ll be a champion of the Champions League one day.
It’s very difficult for the player there, very complicated. But if Barca are looking at him and he is doing well, he fits perfectly. He loves football and has something not many strikers have: a very dedicated defensive side. Julian is a very complete player.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
