He even looks like Robaldos statue. Future madridista 100%.

Yeah, because CL goalscoring machines RvN and Inzaghi were the bastions of technical ability.
Don't care how he scores as long as he scores big. Even CR7 became CR7 after he realized this.
RvN had great technique compared to Haaland. Haaland would kill way too many plays and not score near as much in a team that dominates possession.

RvN was so Joga Bonito that the only time he appeared in one of those ads is as a fan attending the Portugal vs Brazil game where he had to kick the ball back up to Figo after they kicked it into the car park

If we'll play Pep's extreme style with not too many risks, then no.
But if we would play Rijkaard's or Lucho's football with possession but with more counters and crosses, this guy could be a machine.
Remember that in 1997 we had young R9 and that guy needed tons of space and counters.
He banged 47 goals in 49 matches for Barca and we won European Cup winners cup that season.

But as others commented, it seems to be a cultural thing.
Players from Brasil always dream about Barca:
1. since we had Romario, Ronaldo R9, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho
2. Brasilian Joga Bonita is similar to Barca's style
3. Brasilians love sun and sea, Barca has similar climate
On the other hand, Scandinavians are way more connected to EPL.
I guess that way more people from Sweden or Norway watch West Ham:Tottenham than people in Brasil.
EPL football is more about height, physique, running, discipline which is more similar to Scandinavia mentality.
Barca is more about beauty, fun and style.
Just like Brasilians.
Plus England is closer (literally) to Scandinavia plus the weather is quite similar.
On top of that, EPL is ultra rich lately and La Liga is falling down compared to 10 years ago, and that trend will surely continue when both Messi and CR7 will be gone from Barca and Real.
I would love to have him here, but in the future, unless if a player is Catalan, Spanish, Brasilian or Dutch, we will have a hard time to sign him.

Considering we've had several Barca fans who went to Madrid, I'd say anything is possible.
Thats disingenuous to a guy with one of the best close control of all time.

Suppose we gain the rep of picking starters based on merit & become famous for our smart rotation and kinky carousels,
Anyways if no Hal 9000, go 4 Tammy A. This dude, if he stays in Chelsea will be top scorer next year with mailman Ziyech going total postal

He probably likes Zidane, not Madrid. I like Zidane too.
