Barcelona has once again come to the forefront of attention with a large transfer plan. According to the Spanish publication El Nacional, the Catalan club intends to sign Manchester City super striker Erling Haaland in the summer of 2026. This plan is being discussed within the framework of the club's financial capabilities and sports strategy.
According to reports, Barcelona's management intends to offer a large attacking combination to secure the transfer. According to the agreement, the team intends to provide City with their current main midfielder, Dani Olmo, and a certain amount of compensation for the Norwegian star.
Sources indicate that Dani Olmo has already shown interest in Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola. The Spanish specialist highly appreciates his versatile game and technique. This situation increases the likelihood of the Catalans' plan being realized.
The 27-year-old Dani Olmo is a product of Barcelona's academy and has been playing an important role in the starting lineup since 2024. During this time, he made 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring 13 goals and providing 9 assists.
The player's current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2030. According to Transfermarkt, Germany's current market value is approximately €60 million.
Erling Haaland is currently considered one of the most expensive forwards in world football. The Norwegian star will play for Manchester City on a contract until 2034, and according to Transfermarkt, his market value is €180 million.
For Guardiola's team, he is still seen as a key force. However, Barcelona's long-term plans and financial recovery strategy keep the possibility of such a transfer.
For the Catalan team, this potential deal could not only secure a new star but also provide an opportunity to once again demonstrate their influence in the rivalry with Guardiola's school.
Although football fans consider this plan a dream, Barcelona's recent attempts to recover through major transfers cannot be denied. Erling Haaland could open a new home page for the Catalan team in this process.
