Barcelona, led by President Joan Laporta, seeks to conclude a historic deal from Manchester City in the future, and has already started preparing for that vigorously.
\nIn light of this, Spanish press reports highlighted the initial agreement concluded by Barcelona’s Spanish president, Joan Laporta, with Rafaella Pimenta, the agent of Norwegian Erling Haaland, the English star of Manchester City, in order to contract with him in the summer of 2026.<\/p>\n
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper \u201cSport\u201d, Barcelona President Joan Laporta wants to sign Haaland in the summer of 2026, especially since he will then have a date with the presidential elections.
\nThe Spanish newspaper explained that Laporta will try to use the contract paper with Haaland as an attraction card in his favor in the electoral race scheduled for next year, at a time when the construction and opening of the new Camp Nou stadium will be completed.<\/p>\n
The Spanish newspaper confirmed that Portuguese Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, has already met with Rafaela Pimenta, Haaland’s agent, in order to agree with her to sign a contract with the Norwegian star in the summer of 2026.
\nThe Spanish newspaper indicated that Barcelona believes that it will get rid of its financial crises until that time, as it will be able to make a major deal such as signing Haaland.<\/p>\n
It is noteworthy that Haaland has been frequently linked in recent months to joining Real Madrid, especially since he has a release clause in his contract amounting to 170 million euros in the next summer Mercato, which allows him to leave for any club.
\nBefore Haaland moved to Manchester City, Barcelona tried to sign him while he was in German club Borussia Dortmund, but the financial crisis prevented Barcelona from completing the deal.<\/p>\n
Barcelona is seeking, through negotiations with Haaland, to ensure the presence of a star capable of competing with Frenchman Kylian Mbappe, who will join Spanish club Real Madrid starting next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
