According to Spanish newspaper El Nacional, Barcelona is very interested in Norwegian player Erling Haaland. To meet the striker’s release clause worth more than 200 million Euros in 2024, Barca can sell Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Andreas Christensen.
The above source also said that Lewandowski could be sold for 100 million Euros to Saudi Arabia, and the remaining players on this list could compensate for the necessary amount for Haaland.
The Norway international has taken the Premier League by storm since joining Pep Guardiola’s side from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022 for €60 million. Last season, he scored 52 goals in 53 appearances and almost surpassed Lionel Messi to win the 2023 Golden Ball award. Haaland’s goals helped Manchester City win a historic treble last season.
“Ma Bu” also started the 2023/24 season in good form, scoring 18 goals and contributing 4 assists in 19 appearances in all competitions for Manchester City. Some experts believe that the 23-year-old has only played for The Citizens for more than one season, so it is unlikely that he wants to switch clubs in the near future.
Barcelona is currently 4 points behind leaders and arch-rival Real Madrid in La Liga. Haaland can refuse to move to a team led by Xavi if they cannot compete for the championship this season.
