Barcelona promote Haaland transfer
Manchester City talisman Erling Haaland is a Barcelona target and it appears a deal has already been agreed.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland wants to move to Barcelona via Real Madrid after previously committing to join the Catalans.
Haaland is only in his second season in England, but last month he did not rule out a move to La Liga, leading to speculation that both Clasico sides might want to take him to Spain. The 23-year-old appears to have bought a property in the country last year to fuel further rumors.
Spanish media are still speculating about his next move after a disappointing afternoon against Arsenal at the weekend. Barcelona manager Joan Laporta wants to bring the Leeds-born striker to the Camp Nou.

The Spanish sports newspaper claims that Haaland would "prioritize" signing with the Blaugrana, after Mundo Deportivo recently reported that the striker is already close to signing for the Blaugrana.
"When Leo Messi left Barça in the summer of 2021, Haaland finally agreed to stay at Dortmund for another year," Mundo Deportivo reported. "But the Norwegian has said 'yes' to Barça for the next season."
Despite claims that Barca still had a strong interest in Haaland, Barcelona ultimately signed fellow Bundesliga star Robert Lewandowski. Meanwhile, Sport cited Bojan Krkic's father as a source of information.

However, there is no chance of Haaland leaving Manchester City this summer, despite Barcelona's interest in a future move. Still, given the financial constraints, the power of the Premier League and the potential for inflation in the transfer market, it's not certain that they can get him for two or three seasons.
