Key Takeaways
- Armando Gonzalez says he would be honoured to join FC Barcelona this summer.
- The Spanish club views him as an affordable option compared to Julian Alvarez.
- Gonzalez hopes to play alongside Barcelona star Lamine Yamal at Camp Nou.
FC Barcelona plan to sign a new forward when the transfer window opens. Robert Lewandowski will probably leave the club when his contract finishes. The Polish striker’s exit means the team needs fresh attacking players.
The Catalan club wants Julian Alvarez as their main target. However, money problems mean they might choose a cheaper player instead. Armando Gonzalez is now a strong option for the Spanish giants.
Earlier this year, Barcelona spoke with Gonzalez’s agents about a possible deal. Now the player has shared his thoughts with Sport newspaper. He says any footballer would dream of wearing the Barcelona shirt.
“Who would not want to join them? They are one of the greatest teams ever,” Gonzalez explained. He praised Pep Guardiola’s past side and the current work of manager Hansi Flick. He added that all players want to play for such a famous club.
Gonzalez promised to stay focused on his present duties. However, he admitted he would feel very grateful if Barcelona made an offer. His father and representatives prefer to keep him calm and avoid distractions. They want him to concentrate on his daily training and matches.
The young striker also spoke about Lamine Yamal. He called the Barcelona winger one of the best players in the world right now. Gonzalez said it would be a pleasure to share the pitch with the Spanish international. He hopes God gives him the chance to become Yamal’s teammate.
