Haaland is looking at Barca, not Real Madrid: will the Norwegian star go to Catalonia?

Manchester City's goal machine Erling Haaland is set to play in La Liga in the future, according to Spanish media. Although he has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and Barcelona, the Norwegian forward appears to have made up his mind.

Real Madrid - rejected option

According to El Nacional, Haaland has voluntarily rejected the possibility of joining Real Madrid. The reason is not financial. According to the source, he is skeptical about the possibility of playing regularly in the first team in a team with stars such as Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe.

Therefore, Haaland's plans to join the "royal club" have been put on hold for now. He wants to further ensure his main goal - to establish himself as a leading player.

“Barcelona” – the real goal?

The Catalan club is seen as a suitable destination for Haaland. The footballer wants to become a leader in the ranks of “Barcelona” and more openly demonstrate his abilities and level. He also intends to become an important figure in the process of recovery and reconstruction of the team.

According to reports in the press, Haaland’s possible transfer to “Barcelona” could take place in the summer of 2026.

Laporta is on the move, but finances are the decisive factor

Earlier, journalists wrote that Barcelona president Joan Laporta personally wants to bring Erling Haaland and has taken the first steps in this regard. However, in order to make this transfer possible, the club needs to be financially strengthened.

Currently, the transfer fee for Haaland is approximately 175 million euros. If the Catalans fail to find this amount, negotiations with Manchester City could be completely halted.

The Zamin.uz editorial team believes that what Erling Haaland will decide in the future, which club he will play for and what kind of mark he will leave in La Liga, will undoubtedly become one of the main topics in the world of football. His possible role in Barcelona is of particular interest to fans.
