Barcelona are looking for reinforcements in attack for next season and according to SPORT, 22-year-old Chivas striker Armando Gonzalez has become a concrete target for Deco in recent weeks.

The Catalan club has already made initial contact through its sporting director, opening a dialogue with the player's father, showing serious interest, although negotiations are not yet at an advanced stage.

Gonzalez, nicknamed “La Hormiga” (The Ant), has established himself as one of the most prolific finishers in Liga MX this season, registering 17 goals and one assist in 24 appearances for Chivas. Thanks to his quick movements, reactions and composure in front of goal, the young striker has attracted the attention of several European clubs in recent months.

In Mexico, the Barcelona link is seen as a strategic move with a significant dose of truth. With Hansi Flick called in to plan the future after Robert Lewandowski and the club's financial constraints preventing any major signings, Gonzalez represents an affordable option with a guaranteed return, with a market value significantly more affordable than the best players on the Old Continent.
