Haaland to Barcelona? President Laporta is keen on the City star, Deco has reportedly already met with his agents!

At the moment, this seems like an incredible utopia, and it is hard to classify it even as speculation. However, this is exactly what the current news says. The question is, will Erling Haaland leave Manchester City? Barcelona president Joan Laporta is eager to bring the Norwegian sharpshooter to his team.

Is that even realistic? Barcelona president Joan Laporta is keen to bring the Manchester City sharpshooter to the club, according to recent reports. This speculation was originally reported by Jijantes and then picked up by the Spanish media.

The Catalan giant’s sporting director reportedly met with Haaland’s agents Rafael Pianta and Maxwell on Wednesday evening. “Joan Laporta dreams of Haaland’s transfer. It’s complicated, but not impossible,” Romero claims.

Barcelona’s interest is also supposed to be a kind of reaction to the almost completed summer transfer of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid. However, as Romero also states, Haaland is said to have been a dream No. 1 reinforcement for a long time.

Deco’s sporting director had a meeting with the agents to negotiate that they would meet with Haaland’s family and try to agree on different ways of working together.

The biggest question, of course, is the financial terms. Barcelona cannot logically afford anything big given the economic crisis, which is why the potential transfer of the Norwegian sniper to La Liga doesn’t make much sense.

Haaland at Manchester City…

The Norwegian goal-killer transferred to Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in July 2022 for €60 million. However, according to reputable website Transfermarkt , his market value is currently triple that, at €180 million.

He is under contract at the reigning Premier League champions until the end of June 2027. Meanwhile, Haaland himself has expressed in recent interviews that he loves the Manchester City engagement not only because of his collaboration with Pep Guardiola.

As we write above, this speculation fresh for a few hours has to be taken with a large dose of reserve. However, the Spanish media is reporting it in a way that this transfer is said to be definitely not unrealistic.
