Barcelona linked with move for 17-goal Mexican sensation Armando González

Barcelona’s search for attacking reinforcements has reportedly led them to Guadalajara, where Chivas forward Armando González has emerged as a prime target ahead of the summer window. According to Fox Sports, the Catalan club have already opened talks with the Liga MX side to explore the 22-year-old’s availability after a breakout campaign that has yielded 17 goals in 24 league appearances.

González’s prolific form has not gone unnoticed across Europe. Celtic, West Ham United and CSKA Moscow are also monitoring the Mexico youth international, whose release clause is set at €15 million for overseas buyers. ESPN Mexico add that the fee could be negotiated downward if Chivas negotiate a sell-on percentage in any future transfer.

The striker is expected to be a central figure for Mexico at the 2026 World Cup, offering Barcelona the dual appeal of present productivity and long-term upside. With the club scouring the market for fresh firepower, González’s blend of youth and end-product has vaulted him onto the Camp Nou radar.

For now, the player remains focused on the Clausura season, but sources close to the negotiations suggest discussions between Barcelona and Chivas are ongoing as the European giants map out their summer rebuild.
