Joan Laporta intends to make a big splash in the upcoming summer transfer market, aiming to compensate fans for the lack of exciting signings over the past two years.
\nBarcelona sought to sign Nico Williams and Joshua Kimmich, but these attempts did not bear fruit and in the end, the club was able to sign Dani Olmo, who meets and exceeds expectations, but does not fit the requirements of the media and fans.<\/p>\n
According to information from the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, Nike is seeking to join a global star to Hansi Flick’s project in 2025.
\nAmong the options that have gained momentum is the search for a high-class “9” striker to compensate for the absence of Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires in June and is likely not to be renewed, which means he will bid farewell to the team for free.<\/p>\n
There are many alternatives on the table, and Erling Haaland remains the most exciting option.
\nThe newspaper added that Haaland needs no introduction, as he is currently considered the best football player in the world, surpassing Kylian Mbappe. His statistics are amazing, as he has scored 11 goals in just nine games this season.<\/p>\n
This is not the first time his name has been linked to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bas there have been previous attempts to sign him, but they did not succeed.
\nDespite the difficulty of the task, Laporta will benefit from the support of Nike, Barcelona’s main sponsor and the Norwegian star.<\/p>\n
In addition, the possible departure of Pep Guardiola from Manchester City at the end of the season may push Haaland to change his destination and look for a new challenge in the Spanish League, which he has always considered attractive.
\nWith Real Madrid ruled out as a possible destination, and with pressure to share the spotlight with many stars, Flick’s project seems more attractive to Haaland if he decides to leave the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n
In addition, Barcelona has another reason to be optimistic about Haaland, which is the potential sanctions that Manchester City may face, which may force them to sell the former Borussia Dortmund player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
