Sensational news in European football. The renowned Spanish club Barcelona intends to renew its attacking line and is considering Manchester City's Norwegian star, Erling Haaland. This was reported by Football Insider.
Sources indicate that the Catalan club has begun searching for a long-term successor to 37-year-old Polish striker Robert Lewandowski. For this very purpose, they are appointing Haaland as the main candidate. Lewandowski's current contract expires at the end of the 2025/2026 season, and Barça intends to move forward to eliminate any gaps in their attack.
As is known, Erling Haaland joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022. Since then, he has made 151 appearances for the Citizens, scoring 130 goals and providing 21 assists. These indicators make him one of the most dangerous and effective strikers in modern football.
Currently, Haaland's contract with City runs until the summer of 2034. This means his transfer will be extremely complex and expensive. According to Transfermarkt, the player's market value is €180 million.
At the same time, Barcelona's financial situation further complicates the issue. The Catalan club has faced numerous transfer difficulties in recent years due to financial constraints. Therefore, bringing in a super-famous striker like Haaland requires a large economic strategy.
Some insiders also believe that if Haaland continues to play at a high level at City in the following seasons, his move to Barça could become even more difficult. However, this transfer dream has already sparked heated discussions among Catalan fans.
