According to reports, Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, will stop at nothing to acquire Man City attacker Erling Haaland either in 2026 or the following summer. The 2024–25 season is off to a good start for the Catalan club, as Hansi Flick’s team leads La Liga by three points over rival Real Madrid. The renowned striker becomes 37 the following year, one year before his contract expires in 2026, but the former Bayern Munich star appears to be back to his best under Flick’s tutelage.
The Barcelona president has his eye on Erling Haaland of Manchester City and will need to replace Lewandowski during one of the next two summer transfer windows. The Barcelona president would want a well-known figure to represent his vision after Real Madrid signed Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe during the previous two summers; thus, Laporta will stop at nothing to get the superstar from Norway to Spain in 2025 or 2026, according to SPORT.
Barcelona going all out for gigantic Erling Haaland transfer
According to them, Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, intends to use all of the team’s resources and attention to sign Haaland as one of his final moves. Barcelona hopes to sign Haaland in the summer window of 2025 or 2026 as Laporta’s current contract is set to expire in 2026.
The assertion that Barcelona maintains a positive working relationship with Haaland’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, supports their pursuit. Both parties are said to have a great deal of trust in one another, which is seen as a major asset that Barcelona possesses.
