Erling Haaland (24 years old) at Barça in 2025, a sweet dream?

FC Barcelona, which until recently struggled to register a player like Dani Olmo, seems to believe it. According to the Catalan daily Sport, its president Joan Laporta would have made the Manchester City striker a top priority for the end of his second term at the head of the club.
A clear future in Spain?
Laporta would dream of leaving a legacy to Robert Lewandowski on the attacking front. The first contacts between the Catalan club and the Norwegian star date back to the end of March 2021, when the star’s entourage and his agent at the time, Mino Raiola, undertook a tour of Europe to sound out interested clubs and find the ideal destination.
Haaland finally landed at Manchester City, where his contract runs until 2027. But the Cyborg is ready to take a new step in his career. The case would even be heard, according to the Catalan digital newspaper El Nacional. Norwegian Erling Haaland’s stay in England is reportedly coming to an end.
In the history of his country
Although the player has not yet made his intentions public, El Nacional understands that his future will be in La Liga next season. In this context, the two Spanish giants would be on the lookout. If Real Madrid has had the dream of associating Erling Haaland with Kylian Mbappé for a long time, and would be ready to make a significant financial effort to achieve this, Barça has not lost sight of the Norwegian striker either, confirms El Nacional .
Despite the club’s financial difficulties, Barça still believes in his chances and is preparing to explore all options to bring him to Catalonia. Author of ten goals, including two hat-tricks, in his first five Premier League matches this season, Erling Haaland has slowed down the pace with his club, but not with his selection. Thanks to the double scored against Slovenia (3-0) in the Nations League, the Citizen became the top scorer in the history of his country in the Norwegian jersey. He now has 34 goals in 37 appearances.
