The name of Argentine striker Julian Alvarez has come close to the interests of the candidates for the presidency of FC Barcelona, with the elections scheduled for March 15 approaching, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Marca'.

The newspaper explained that at least one of the candidates has contacted Alvarez's entourage to include him as a main reinforcement for the team in the next season, especially with the possibility of striker Robert Lewandowski leaving, which makes Barcelona in need of support in the attack line to assist Ferran Torres.

This season, Alvarez is experiencing a lower-than-expected level with Atletico Madrid, as he has not been able to score goals easily despite being a starter, and has lost some of his attacking effectiveness. Although the Madrid club paid a large amount to sign the player from Manchester City, Barcelona has strong sporting incentives to convince him to move, which is an important factor for the success of any deal of this kind.

The report indicated that including Alvarez in the candidate's campaign would be a strong step, and his name will be significantly present in the context of the upcoming elections, which promise a fierce competition among candidates for the club's presidency.
