Barcelona's plan to reunite Erling Haaland with Lionel Messi

The Norwegian Erling Haaland's the player that the most powerful teams in Europe are competing for in the passing market. And among the clubs that want to be the implacable forward, Barcelona dreams of being able to hire him to give Lionel Messi more reasons not to leave Catalonia since he has not yet renewed his contract that expires on June 30.

The brand new president Joan Laporta has already got to work and, from Spain, they assured that in the Barça environment there is "a certain optimism" about the hiring of the Borussia Dortmund striker, a true scoring machine. Of course, from the German club, they've already put a price: 180,000,000 euros, although there's a termination clause for 75,000,000 that is activated in 2022.

Given the difficult financial situation that Barcelona is going through, the board of directors seems to have a plan to carry out the negotiations. And it is divided into two points: sell to a couple of the figures and continue with the reduction of salaries, in order to mitigate the debt of 1,000,000,000 euros that the club has.

"It's obvious that everyone sees Haaland as one of the potential new stars of the future because it is very difficult what he has done at his age. Only 10 clubs can afford to sign Haaland and give him the place where he would like to be. after Dortmund”, said Mino Raiola, the Norwegian forward's agent.
