Haaland is looking at "Barca" not "Real": will the Norwegian star head to Catalonia?
The goal machine of Manchester City, Erling Haaland, has intentions to play in La Liga in the future. This was reported based on Spanish media sources. Although leading Spanish clubs like Real Madrid and Barselona have shown interest in him, it seems that the Norwegian forward has already made his choice.
Real - a rejected option
According to information disseminated by El Nacional, Haaland has voluntarily rejected the opportunity to join Real. The reason is not financial. The source states that he is skeptical about the possibility of regularly playing in the starting lineup of a team that has stars like Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe.
Therefore, Haaland's plans to join the "royal club" have currently been removed from the agenda. He wants to further guarantee his main goal of emerging as a leading player.
Barselona - the real target?
The Catalonia club is seen as a favorable option for Haaland. The player aims to become a leader in the Barselona squad and to showcase his abilities and level even more openly. He also intends to become an important figure in the team's restoration and rebuilding process.
According to reports in the media, Haaland's potential transfer to Barselona could take place in the summer of 2026.
Laporta is in action, but finance is a decisive factor
Previously, journalists reported that Barselona president Joan Laporta personally wishes to bring Erling Haaland and has initiated preliminary actions in this regard. However, for this transfer to be realized, the club needs to stabilize financially.
Currently, the required transfer fee for Haaland is approximately 175 million euros. If the Catalans cannot raise this amount, negotiations with Manchester City may completely halt.
