Barcelona’s number one target for next season is Erling Haaland.
Joan Laporta wants the Norwegian to become the flagship of the Barça team for the next few years and is willing to do everything to get him next summer.
Barcelona know that the competition to sign the striker will be fierce because Real Madrid is also going to focus on the Dortmund attacker and another club like Manchester City is also very much on top.
Laporta has been talking to Mino Raiola, the player’s agent, for a long time to get him to opt for the Camp Nou.
In fact, a few days ago they saw each other in Monaco. Now, everything indicates that he has taken another step with the entry of Xavi Hernández on the scene. As reported by L’Esportiu, the Barça coach would have met this week with the footballer in Munich. The information pointed out that Jordi Cruyff would have accompanied him.
The latter was in London these days trying to speed up the signing of Andreas Christensen for Barça club, so he could hardly have been in the Bavarian city meeting Haaland. Xavi’s case is different. Sources from the Barça club neither confirmed nor denied the meeting between the coach and the attacker.
