Sources: 18 G\/A Mexican talent emerges as surprise Barcelona target<\/p>\n
Barcelona are already working on their attacking plans for next season, and a new name has entered the conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to a recent revelation by SPORT<\/a>, 22-year-old forward Armando Gonzalez is now one of the club\u2019s objectives for the upcoming campaign.<\/p>\n The information coming out of Mexico suggests that initial contacts have already taken place.\u00a0<\/p>\n In fact, reports indicate that members of Bar\u00e7a\u2019s sporting department have opened discussions with the player\u2019s father, who is currently playing a key role in advising Gonzalez on his next career move.\u00a0<\/p>\n While nothing is advanced at this stage, the approach signals genuine interest.<\/p>\n At just 22, Gonzalez has established himself as one of the standout forwards in the Mexican League.\u00a0<\/p>\n Notably, he has registered 17 goals and one assist in 24 appearances this season, underlining his consistency and instinct inside the box.\u00a0<\/p>\n Known as \u201cLa Hormiga\u201d<\/em>, he has built a reputation for sharp movement, quick reactions and strong finishing.<\/p>\n Armando Gonzalez has been fantastic this season.

In Mexico, analysts believe the link makes sense for strategic reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\nWho is Armando Gonzalez?<\/h2>\n
Then there is Barcelona<\/h2>\n
