Barcelona will reportedly look to sign 23-year-old Manchester City mainstay Erling Haaland in the 2025 summer transfer window.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on HITC, Erling Haaland is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The Catalan giants are keen on signing the 23-year-old Manchester City mainstay in the 2025 summer transfer window, with Joan Laporta eager to bring him to the club next year.
The rise and rise of Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland has blossomed into one of the best players in the world in the last few years. The Norwegian international rose in prominence during his short stint with Red Bull Salzburg after he enjoyed an exceptional first half of the 2019/20 season. Borussia Dortmund beat intense competition to land him in January 2020 before he continued his upward trajectory.
The 23-year-old was top-class at the Bundesliga club but has taken his performances up several notches since joining Manchester City in July 2022. Haaland has won the Premier League Golden Boot in both his campaigns thus far at the Etihad while winning the treble in his debut season and the Premier League title last term.
The former Borussia Dortmund striker has an astonishing record of 90 goals and 15 assists in 98 appearances thus far for Manchester City. So, it is hardly surprising that the two most recognisable clubs in the world — Real Madrid and Barcelona — are keen on signing him. The latest update talks about Barcelona’s interest in the Manchester City mainstay.
Barcelona keen
Barcelona’s interest in Erling Haaland is understandable. The Catalan giants are scouring the market for a striker amid Robert Lewandowski’s advancing age. While the Polish international has been a top-notch addition to the first-team squad, he is in the twilight of his career and will unlikely sustain his levels for many more years.
Vitor Roque should have ideally been Lewandowski’s long-term successor but is unsettled at FC Barcelona after a dreadful first six months at the club. So, Haaland has emerged as a viable target for Barcelona, with the Blaugrana keen on signing the 23-year-old Manchester City mainstay in the 2025 summer transfer window.
However, landing the Norwegian international might be a tall order for Barcelona, with Manchester City prioritising his contract renewal. In addition, it might take a world-record bid to sign Haaland, which should put Barcelona in a spot of bother.
