Joan Laporta seals the signing of the summer, 18 years old and better than Julián Álvarez: '1M...'

Julián Álvarez, Argentine forward for Atlético de Madrid, is liked by Barça, but his signing is completely ruled out for this summer transfer window. Joan Laporta, however, wants to sign a forward with scoring ability who can start to replace Robert Lewandowski and, therefore, has decided to turn to the transfer market. Said and done: Joan Laporta secures the major signing of the summer, an 18-year-old forward arrives at Barça and could even end up being better than Julián Álvarez, a top forward.

Barça hasn't forgotten about Julián Álvarez, but they do acknowledge that, as is obvious, it's a signing that will have to wait. Laporta does want to sign a forward with scoring ability and has set his sights on a star who could become better than Julián Álvarez: 18 years old and only €1M. Joan Laporta's work in this transfer market has been excellent: in a champion Barça, the signings keep coming and will greatly improve the current FC Barcelona squad.

Joan Laporta, president of Barça, has changed the face of FC Barcelona and has become the absolute leader of a ship that's set sail at cruising speed. Joan Laporta has surprised even the most optimistic and Barça, with hardly any spending during the transfer window, has become a serious contender to win every title. Now, as if the excitement caused wasn't enough, Joan Laporta has secured the major signing of the summer: an 18-year-old forward with a promising future and better than Julián Álvarez.

If Joan Laporta is standing out for anything, it's for trusting young talent, especially those developed at La Masia, but the president isn't satisfied and wants more. It's for all these reasons that Joan Laporta has stepped up to secure a signing that, barring any surprises, will be official before the next preseason begins. Joan Laporta has already confirmed it: he has secured the signing of the summer and will trust a young 18-year-old forward who could even be better than Julián Álvarez.

When no one expected it, Barça has shaken up the transfer market with a spectacular deal already confirmed to strengthen the first team led by Joan Laporta. The latest signing will be a real bomb, as Barça would have secured the arrival of the new Julián Álvarez for free. Hansi Flick was demanding reinforcements in the attack and he'll get them, as Barça has done their homework by breaking the transfer market with the arrival of the new Julián Álvarez.

Better than Julián Álvarez and only worth €1M, Joan Laporta's signing is historic: "What a bargain from the president..."

Barça dreams of making the arrival of the new Julián Álvarez official in the coming days, but sources from the culer club admit that the deal still needs to be finalized. Joan Laporta is leading an operation that could be very successful for Barça, as the new Julián Álvarez would arrive for €1M at Barça and that's something that reduces risks.

As if the signing of Nico Williams wasn't enough, Joan Laporta is preparing a signing that will be official very soon: the signing of the summer could debut in preseason. He's 18 years old, reminiscent of Julián Álvarez and will become the signing of the summer: Joan Laporta's bet is firm, "he'll debut in the upcoming matches," culer sources point out.

Barça hasn't forgotten about Julián Álvarez, but, meanwhile, they're working to secure the promotion of forward Jan Virgili to the first team. Virgili comes from Juvenil A and, in addition to being involved with the first team, it can't be ruled out that he'll have a place in Hansi Flick's squad designed by Joan Laporta.

Laporta believes Virgili is a great project for the future and wants him to start getting minutes: his debut in the preseason tour of Asia is more than assured.
