In an apparent indication of the forward’s future, Barcelona and ERLING HAALAND’S agent met.
Superagent Rafaela Pimenta and Barca sporting director Deco are seen meeting in video obtained from the Spanish publication Jijantes.
They claim that during the meeting, Haaland’s future was addressed.
Erling Haaland could be on his way to Barcelona
The 23-year-old and Real Madrid, the dominant team in Spain, were previously connected.
But it appears that Barcelona wants to try to outsmart their La Liga competitors by becoming the first to sign the star player from Manchester City.
Haaland’s deal with Man City runs until 2027, and during that time he will be paid £375,000 per week before bonuses.
When bonuses and incentives are included in, it surpasses £850,000.
According to Spanish reports, the Norwegian’s contract has a £171.6 million (€200 million) release clause that will activate in the summer.
Until it expires in 2024, the clause’s value will fall in each transfer window after that.
Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, is rumored to have brought up her “big dream” during the meeting.
Pimenta assumed the agency that Mino Raiola had left behind after his death in April 2022.
Five goals from Haaland helped Man City defeat Luton 6-2 in the FA Cup.
In the match, he scored three hat-tricks for his club, making a total of eighteen for his country.
Following a season in which he set a record with 52 goals, he has already scored 27 goals in all competitions this year.
