Will Haaland leave Manchester City?

Joan Laporta and Deco have placed this file at Barcelona’s top priority next summer, as the club continues to monitor a number of options, and Haaland comes at the forefront of the names proposed, especially since he represents an old dream of the club’s president, who tried to sign him earlier.

The report stressed that Argentine Julian Alvarez, the star of Atletico Madrid, is still the first target of the Barcelona administration, but Atletico’s position of refusing to negotiate with a direct competitor, in addition to the player’s commitment to a long-term contract, makes the possibility of completing the deal in the summer of 2027 very difficult.

Barcelona does not intend to engage in a financial adventure in order to contract with Alvarez, and if Enrique Cerezo, president of Atletico Madrid, maintains his position of refusing to negotiate, the Catalan club will have to search for another alternative to strengthen its attack line.

Here Haaland appears as a very attractive option, not only because of his exceptional level, but also because of the release clause in his contract worth 175 million euros.

Despite the large amount of this amount, it does not greatly exceed the value that Barcelona was prepared to pay in order to sign the 2022 Qatar World Cup champion, Julian Alvarez, which makes the Haaland deal, from a financial standpoint, among the options that the club can study. (Erm News)
