‘We should be all over him’: Some Barca fans suggest plan B if Nico Williams doesn’t join

Exactly on the day when rumours about Nico Williams’ decision to stay at Athletic Club emerge, Julian Alvarez drops a major hint at his future.

“Last season, I was one of the players with the most minutes at City. But… in the end, you don’t like being left out of important matches; you want to contribute. ‘ll take my time to think about what I want for myself. We’ll see.”

The Argentine, who can play both as a left winger and a no. 9, reportedly wants to leave Manchester City this summer, with the latter asking for around €80m. Difficult but not impossible if Barca conclude their pending sponsorship deals and get the money.

💭 I_am (X): “There is Alvarez on the market, but Barca are not taking advantage of the situation.”

💭 Rapha (X): “If you want an attacker, sign Alvarez over Olmo, he’s there for the taking.”

💭 Tugay (X): “He reminds me of David Villa.”

💭 Muhamed_95 (Reddit): “Barca should sell Lewandowski and buy him.”

Given his versatility and prolificness (17 goals and 12 assists last season), Julian could really solve plenty of our problems up front. It’s strange to see Barca refusing to try to pull this off.
