Barcelona is considered a potential club for Armando González, as the club is seeking a natural replacement because Robert Lewandowski's departure from Catalonia is considered almost imminent.

There are claims of Barcelona's desire to sign Armando González, and recent claims suggest offers from the club, but none of these offers were concrete. Barcelona have not approached CD Guadalajara over a deal for the player. Two months ago, CD Guadalajara renewed Armando González's contract until 2029.

Barcelona, Celtic, and West Ham United are all interested in signing 22-year-old Mexican striker Armando González from CD Guadalajara this summer. The interest comes after his performances as the Liga MX Apertura 2025's joint top scorer. Hansi Flick’s Barcelona have contacted the player's agent to inquire about his current status. Celtic and West Ham have also explored a deal, making contact to find out his salary requirements and Guadalajara's transfer demand. At present, discussions from all three clubs have only been with the player's representatives, and none of them have approached the Mexican club or made any offers. Formal approaches from the interested clubs could be made after the World Cup. González, who has been capped three times for Mexico, joined Guadalajara in January 2024 and his contract runs until the end of 2026. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €7.00m.
