According to sources close to Haaland, his absolute priority is a move to Barcelona starting in June. While the deal won’t be easy, Haaland and his agent, Rafaela Pimienta, are working to take the necessary steps to make his dream of playing at Camp Nou a reality. This move could represent a turning point in his career, especially given Haaland’s desire to be part of a new project that will allow him to achieve even greater success.
The deal has significant political implications.
The Haaland transfer carries considerable political weight for Barcelona. With the club’s presidential elections approaching, Joan Laporta views signing the Norwegian star as a strategic opportunity that could provide a major boost to his election campaign. Strengthening Barcelona’s squad with a blockbuster signing like Haaland could attract support from members and fans, making him a key target in the summer transfer window.
Financial Challenges and a Desire to Build a Strong Team

On the other hand, Pep Guardiola seems to realize that keeping Haaland beyond this season will be difficult. The Catalan coach has spoken with the Norwegian star, urging him to give his all until the end of the season to help compete for the Premier League and Champions League titles, Manchester City’s two main objectives. Despite the rumors about his future at Barcelona, Haaland has confirmed his readiness to give his all for the team for the remainder of the season.
