Robert Lewandowski37 years old, concludes his contract with FC Barcelona on June 30 and Barça members are beginning to show their wishes as to who the club should sign for next summer to reinforce the forward line. In a survey carried out among 300 club members for Mundo Deportivo by Estudi Press, the culés make their preferences very clear. Firstly, and as the most desired signing for the summer, the current Atlético de Madrid forward appears Julian Alvarezwho will turn 26 this coming January 31st. The Argentine international accumulates 31.33% of the votes, adding almost 6% more than Erling Haalandwhich appears as the second preferred option, with a total of 26% of the votes.
It is surprising that in the third most voted option, when the question is specific (Which player would I sign next summer? and only one option is allowed), the name of the current Chelsea left-back appears Marc Cucurella. The Catalan defender, and forged in La Masia, has no less than 12.33% of the votes, something that also shows that Barça’s partners are not only wanting to reinforce the ‘9’ position, but would also like to shore up the left-handed side with the Spanish international.
It is also striking that the fourth most voted option among Barça members is the answer that implies that they would not sign “none”, being satisfied with the current Barça squad.
