It was only a matter of time before the big European teams set their sights on Armando Gonzalez's game and, according to the Spanish media outlet 'Sport', it is Barcelona who have taken the lead in finding out the details surrounding the Chivas striker. It was obvious that the goalscoring streak of the 'Hormiga' ('Ant') with Gabriel Milito (23 'Anime' style celebrations in 33 matches) would end up on the table of the sporting directors of the best European teams.

So much so that the Spanish sports media compares the 22-year-old striker with statistics of Lamine Yamal and emphasizes that the Mexican has a better projection than the Spain attacker within the U23 scorers.

The 22 league goals and the goal he has scored in the Leagues Cup caught the attention of the LaLiga leaders, who are looking for an investment in a young player with a track record to make up for the poor deal they did with Vitor Roque, which did not work out as they had planned and the Brazilian ended up being transferred to Palmeiras after breaking the loan that Barcelona had with Betis.

It should also be noted that since Milito arrived on the Chivas bench, the explosion that the 'Hormiga' made was of such a total impact that scouts from the Premier League, the Bundesliga and Serie A were interested in his qualities.

It is Barcelona, according to Sport, who have taken a step forward to have a better idea of the footballing performance of Gonzalez, beyond his tremendous statistical numbers.

So much so that in MARCA, an opinion was published that the 'Hormiga' should be the starting number 9 for Javier Aguirre in the Mexican national team in the next World Cup, since the argument is valid when mentioning that in El Tri those players who are going through their best moment should play, such is the case of this young player who has a future without limits ahead of him.
