The president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, has always based his orders on bringing a firmament of stars, using them to fuel the excitement and the victories of the title, and he has his eyes on a new goal. It is not the first time that Erling Haaland has been linked with the Blaugrana, and it seems that Laporta is eager for a second attempt to Manchester City star
According to SportLaporta outlined Haaland as their number one goal down the line. Nico Williams remains an option, and if the terms remain the same, both in terms of his release clause and his salary demands, then his transfer will be considered. From this point, however, Haaland is their first option to strengthen the club.

Laporta sees him as a strategic signing, and aims to bring him to the Catalan club in 2025 or 2026, which he sees as crucial to “reopening Camp Nou”. His relationship with his agent Rafaela Pimenta is good, and they feel it could work in his favor. The first time he looked to sign Haaland in 2021, but financially they could not make the deal, but the potential exit of Pep Guardiola and the possible sanctions for the City are also problems that could work in his favor.
Clearly, with Robert Lewandowski turning 37 next August, Barcelona are thinking about alternatives, as was shown by their signing of Vitor Roque. The Blaugrana will have him under contract for another season if he plays 45 minutes in 50% of Barcelona's games this season, but ultimately, they will need a star number nine in 2026. The big problem, as 'and in 2021, it will be. the finances.
