Barcelona President – Joan Laporta, has come up with an ambitious plan to try to sign Erling Haaland for the 2024/2025 season. Accordingly, Laporta seeks to take advantage of the Norwegian striker’s contract release clause of only 100 million Euros. The Camp Nou home club will make great efforts to implement this impactful contract.
Barcelona’s idea to make this deal is to sell excellent players like Raphinha or Araujo for money. With Barcelona’s difficult economic situation, president Laporta will also seek to activate new financial levers to face the purchase price of Haaland. Fichajes newspaper affirmed that the Barca president is determined to create a “big bang” in the transfer market and believes that the Norwegian player will be a key reinforcement to revive the team’s attack.
However, Laporta’s strategy will not be simple, as they will compete with other European clubs for Haaland’s services, and they will also face significant financial challenges. .
Additionally, Barcelona’s performance and position in La Liga could affect their participation in the Champions League. This uncertainty could be a concern for a player of Haaland’s caliber, who may want to compete at the highest levels of European football.
Compatibility with the playing style is also a problem for players born in 2000 if they land at Camp Nou, because Barcelona’s playing style under coach Xavi focuses on the tiki-taka system. While Haaland is famous for his ability to score goals and operate independently, he may not be suitable for the Blaugrana’s style of play.
