The Spanish media does not stop linking Barcelona to signing Erling Haaland, the Manchester City star, and this time by transferring a “surprise trip” that could mean a lot.
The president of the Catalan club, Joan Laporta, had confirmed that the contract with Haaland would not happen, but many reports emerged after that suggesting that the deal would be completed in the summer of 2026.
Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, previously met with Haaland’s agent, and it was said that the deal was discussed during this meeting, and now a new step has emerged that may suggest that there are already moves from Barcelona.
This step is to monitor the press cameras of Haaland’s father, Alfie, while he was in Barcelona on Wednesday evening at one of the famous restaurants.
The newspapers immediately linked Haaland’s father’s visit to Catalonia to secret negotiations being held between him and the Barcelona camp in preparation for his son’s transfer to Camp Nou.
Even if the deal is close to impossible next summer, the option of including the Norwegian star next summer or the next to Barcelona remains very much on the table, and the secret is the club’s presidential elections.
Mundo Deportivo newspaper revealed that Laporta is planning to present Haaland as a gift to the Catalan fans in order to increase his shares in the upcoming elections, scheduled to be held in 2026.
