Joan Laporta wants to sign a striker. As reported by Sportit is no mystery that the president of Barcelona want to buy a player capable of making the fans happy and allowing him to win a few more trophies. The dream of the number one of the Blaugrana club is Erling Haaland of Manchester City. The goal is to bring it to Spain in 2025 or 2026.
The first contacts with the footballer’s entourage took place way back in March 2021, then Rafaela Pimenta took over from Mino Raiola after his death and the parties continued to update each other. Several meetings took place between the Barcelona management, led by Deco, and Haaland’s representative, with Laporta convinced to go ahead with all of himself and with all of his strength in order to sign the Norwegian center forward.
Relations are cordial, there is a lot of mutual trust and this is a plus point for Barcelona. In all of this, the Nico Williams option is also still alive, as long as the conditions of the operation and therefore the clause and the player’s contract are not changed. However, Laporta’s great desire remains Haaland, also considering the fact that Lewandowski is already 36 years old.
