Joan Garcia has handed Barcelona a timely public signal on the club’s attacking rebuild by praising both Anthony Gordon and reported priority target Julian Alvarez.
Speaking to RAC1, relayed by Barca Blaugranes, the new Blaugrana goalkeeper described Alvarez as a top-level forward while stressing that Barcelona can only wait on Atletico Madrid and the player. He also backed Gordon’s intensity, pressing and decision-making after the winger’s move from Newcastle.
Flick Gets Dressing-Room Backing For Attack Plan
The timing matters. Barcelona have already seen the Gordon deal questioned, while the Alvarez chase remains financially delicate after recent coverage of the club’s risk-heavy bid plan.
Garcia’s comments do not move a negotiation, but they sharpen the football case. Gordon gives Hansi Flick a runner who can press high and stretch the left channel. Alvarez would add central aggression, penalty-box timing and a natural successor route beyond the Lewandowski era.
Barca Blaugranes also notes that Garcia, Gordon and Alvarez are all preparing for World Cup last-32 ties, giving Barcelona scouts another live read before the market accelerates.
For Flick, the message is simple: Barcelona’s new goalkeeper is already talking like a player who understands the shape of the next squad. That is why this endorsement lands as more than polite international-camp diplomacy.
