Font’s Bold Denial: Alvarez Saga Debunks, Haaland Dream Teeters Ahead of Barca’s Election
19 February 2026
A Bold Denial on Alvarez
Victor Font, Barca's presidential candidate, fired a shocking claim about Julian Alvarez's transfer to the Blaugrana.
Argentinian and Spanish outlets say Alvarez will leave Atletico Madrid for Barcelona after World Cup 2026, a move Font seeks to shape as part of his campaign.
A Haaland Mention and a Call for Real Change
Font, the main rival to Laporta in the March 15 election, insists the club has not spoken with Atletico Madrid.
He responded to weeks of pro Laporta hype by declaring that there is no forward progress in the Alvarez saga; I know the club has not talked to Atletico Madrid.
Font added that we will still sign Haaland, but that would be selling a dream; our athletic project was already presented last Wednesday.
He noted Laporta spent five years in office; if we believed promises in 2021 as good faith, now we have the results.
Font concluded that members are tired of deceit; this election will decide whether Barca remains the personal presidency club or moves forward as a proper club with separation.
He urged fans to watch the campaign moves carefully and demand a clear sporting project, not a media show.
Outside the boardroom, rumors swirl, but Font remains focused on presenting a credible program and a hopeful future for Barcelona.
Punchline 1 that lands with a grin and not a groan: if Barca signs Haaland the goals will come faster than a press release can spell drama.
Punchline 2: in football and politics, the only transfer that guarantees applause is the one that actually happens on the field.
