Just looking at this tape, you can see Julian’s qualities:

• Excellent link-up play, can drop deep, receive the ball under pressure and never lose it. Even has the ability to play through passes onto runners, which would be perfect for players like Fermin, Raphinha who didn’t receive that from Lewy.

• He is incredibly mobile, with both agility & speed. This benefits our creators like Lamine, Frenkie & Pedri so much, gives them an outlet that they can spray passes to in any circumstance. Just think of all the Lamine trivelas that have gone to Ferran, now imagine that with a 10x faster player on the end of them.

• His ball-striking is superb, he is able to generate incredible amounts of power with both feet, from any angle. A quality you really can not teach. Players like this only need half a chance to score, and in UCL games that can be the difference

• People complaining about his “lack of height” don’t get that being a dangerous player in the box isn’t about being the most physically imposing, it’s about your movement, whether you can unsettle your marker and arrive in the right positions at the right time. Julian is very much capable of this, and even when he drops deep he’ll give Frenkie & Fermin the option of crashing the box in place of him.

• This is all just me mostly mentioning his on the ball quality, but he is a phenomenal presser, never gets tired and gives 110% in each duel.

I think anyone looking at his Atleti stats is just being disingenuous, he is ready to explode and we have the perfect platform for him to do so. We may sign other players, but Julian is the main one that elevates this team.

[Fabrizio Romano] Real Betis agree deal to sign Troy Parrott for €20M fee, here we go! The Irish hero is set to play in La Liga.

Carles Naval, FC Barcelona’s first-team delegate, joined the club back in 1972 and has served as the first-team delegate since 1986. The 26/27 season will mark his 40th season as first-team delegate and 54th season with Barça overall.

[Mike Verweij] Jofre Torrents will leave Barça and join Ajax on a free transfer, despite being contracted for 2 more years. Barça will only get a maximum fee of €5.5M if Jofre meets certain performance-based bonuses.

Joao Cancelo: “I told Deco: Either I come here, or I’ll stay [at Al-Hilal] for a year without playing while continuing to receive my salary. I gave up part of my salary [to come here], but my choice was either signing for Barça or nothing.”

[Carlos Monfort] Neither Roony nor Casadó knew about Flick’s decision to leave them out of the squad for the game today. It was a surprise, right before the team headed to the airport. The decision hasn't been received the same way by everyone.

[Carlos Monfort] On July 30, before heading to England for the pre-season tour, Deco met with Rodri face-to-face at a hotel in Barcelona, with maximum secrecy, in order to convince the player to choose Barça over Madrid.

Jules Koundé: “My personal goals? I hope to have a really great season, and to rest well so I can come back stronger, deliver a better season than my previous one, and help Barcelona as much as possible.”

Ebrima Tunkara has been chosen as the UEFA U-17 Euro Player of the Tournament. He recorded 1 goal, 4 assists & 23 key-passes - the highest tally of all players. This is all despite being a year younger than everybody else at the tournament.

Mehlman Medical has now undergone 2 height lengthening surgeries, and stands at 6’6” tall

[Ferran Martinez] Dani Olmo will receive a salary improvement this summer, as a reward for the efforts he made to join the club in 2024. The player would like to fulfill his contract until 2030.

This compilation of Julian Alvarez vs. Frankfurt shows you exactly what he can bring to this team. He is the most self-sufficient striker in Europe, his technique is brilliant, and he is incredibly mobile. A player like this is a straight up killer on UCL nights.

[Fernando Polo] Exclusive: Deco was in London to advance the signing of Anthony Gordon. Barca view the player as an absolute priority, and want to close his signing quickly. They believe he can play as a winger and as a 9.

[SPORT] Flick has halted the signing of Bastoni due to doubts about his abilities. The club is delighted with the performance of Gerard Martin this season as the left-footed CB, although will still continue to search the market for a defender.

[Mundo Deportivo] Hansi Flick specifically wants to keep Rashford & Cancelo at the club, and thus the club will do everything to keep them.
