Barcelona plotting summer 2025 move for Erling Haaland: Report

Barcelona have remained in contact with Erling Haaland’s agents

Several sources, Barcelona have identified Erling Haaland as a transfer target for the summer of 2025. Should this trade go through, it would be a remarkable one.

After a spectacular first season and another golden shoe race-leading second season with Manchester City, the Norwegian has shot to the top of most major teams’ transfer picks.He has established himself as maybe the greatest No 9 in the world after bludgeoning and battering his way to several records in the Premier League in 2022–2023.

But, that area also comes with staggering wealth; according to sources from April of last year, he was making almost £865,000 a week at the Etihad.It may come as a surprise that Barcelona is preparing a move for one of the best-paid players in the league given their ongoing financial difficulties, which have forced them to have registering issues in La Liga in recent years, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Robert Lewandowski, the legendary Polish player who will turn 36 at the conclusion of the season, is presently leading Barca in goals scored.

However, the striker’s contract expires at the end of 2024–2025, thus Blaugrana will need to bolster the position of number nine. According to Mundo Deportivo, Haaland is the ideal alternative for the team.
