Barcelona prepares a sensational transfer for Haaland: what is known about the club's plans.

Laporta dreams of Haaland at 'Barcelona'

According to The Sun: 'Barcelona' President Joan Laporta, according to sources, is actively seeking to sign Erling Haaland from 'Manchester City' and sees him as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.

Laporta has not lost hope for great achievements despite the club's financial difficulties. According to Spanish media, he plans an impressive transfer of Haaland next summer.

Haaland is one of the best strikers in the world.

Robert Lewandowski, who is 37 years old, may leave the club at the end of the season when his contract, signed three years ago after moving from 'Bayern Munich', expires. Although the Pole remains an important player, new coach Hansi Flick is cautious about his usage due to injury.

Ferran Torres rarely scores, and there remains a question as to whether he can become a key striker.

Thus, Laporta together with sporting director Deco is eager to find a true striker, and Haaland is their first choice.

As reported by the Spanish publication El Nacional, the possibility of bringing back former 'City' player Julian Alvarez was recently discussed, but Laporta is focused specifically on Haaland.

The 24-year-old Norwegian forward signed an impressive ten-year contract with 'City' in January, securing his place in the team until 2034 with no possibility of early exit. Reports suggest he earns £400 thousand a week and has already scored 111 goals in 126 matches since joining for £51 million from 'Borussia' Dortmund in 2022.

Haaland became champion of two leagues and won the Champions League under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, and many believe his next step is a move to La Liga, where 'Real Madrid' has long been a fan of his talent.

'Barcelona' failed to sign him last time, but has never missed an opportunity to keep track of his progress.

Despite financial issues, El Nacional reports that Laporta is filled with optimism. He believes that any difficulties at 'City' could cause Haaland to question his future, and he is targeting a possible transfer in 2026.

The expected return of 'Barcelona' to the legendary 'Nou Camp' has been postponed again, intensifying the situation. The team is forced to play matches at the small 'Estadi Johan Cruyff', which frustrates fans due to delays in restoring the £1.25 billion stadium.

The situation at the club remains tense, and fans are eagerly waiting for news of a potential Haaland signing, which could be an important step towards returning the team to the top of world football.
