Florentino Pérez has been a kind of ally for Joan Laporta in the fight against LaLiga, with the Super League or the attacks of Tebas and Ceferin ... but he can become his worst enemy

Calendar of FC Barcelona

In his second stage like president of the FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta has found in Florentino Pérez, his homologous in the Real Madrid, an ally in front of the 'injustices' of the current football. The two have served of leaders against the clubs-states, the agreement with the CVC, or the constant attacks of Javier Thebes or Aleksander Ceferin, in addition to keeping live the idea -and intention- of the Superliga European, beside Andrea Agnelli and the Juventus. Out of the terrain, everything is well, but in the sportive the war never has finish.

The rivalry between the Barça and Madrid will not finish only because his maximum mandators agree in some points. The institutional relation is good, with respect and like. But little more. They are the biggest clubs of Spain and always there will be the intention of 'prejudice' to the rival or expect, with strengths, that the another was not so well. It is something that is very 'clear' from the Camp Nou and Joan Laporta looks with worry the current situation of the White House, that is much better -in several appearances- that the one of the Barça.

It is not a secret that the Madrid is living a moment of sweet to sportive level, with the leadership in solitary in LaLiga and his pass concretised to the eighth of the Champions League and that has a very good economic health. This last appearance, thanks to a big management of Florentino Pérez, to the one who has not shivered him the pulse to take decisions (like the no renewal of Bouquets or the 'absence' of the Madrid in the markets) with such to remain stable his financial situation.

In this sense, the Madrid is totally able to throw the house by the window in 2022 and reinforce, of extraordinary way, the team. 'Mark' stands out that this situation keeps 'restless' to Laporta. The signing of Kylian Mbappé, like free agent, is very near for the madridistas. The player does not want to renew with the Paris Saint-Germain and Florentino Pérez is smart to raise the telephone on 1 January and look for his signature. With 'Donatello' -and Benzema and Vinícius- the Madrid already would have a fearsome forward, but the intention of 'Floren' goes further... And to this is what Laporta fears.

Haaland, the dream

The team of Chamartín is in conditions to put in the 'bidding' by Erling Haaland next summer. In fact, 'BILD' included him in the selecta smart of three teams that are positioned to do with the services of the Norwegian, one in which it is not the Barça, and the CEO of the club Teutonic confirmed the interest of the merengues in the footballer of 21 years. They have not gathered with Mino Raiola (as it did it Laporta does weeks), but yes that have gone tracing the way to be between the clubs that can achieve to the 'wonder kid' of Europe.

Laporta And the Barça, obviously, do not want that this pass. It would be a situation complicadísima to surpass: a fearsome forward with four players that are in his best moment and that they can mark a period no only in the Spanish football, but also in the European, as they did it in his moment Leo Messi, Neymar Jr and Luis Suárez in the Camp Nou. 'Jan' can be very accomplice of Florentino in the 'businesses', but has traced the aim that this no pass. It would be a shot in the foot.

Haaland Is the reinforcement dreamed for the culés. Since it won the presidency, Laporta has seen him like a player of present and future for his. Now, to Xavi Hernández also likes him and sees him like a 'crack' that it can mark a period and, obviously, can cure the fault of goal of the Barcelona.

The Barça, with very little margin of action

The main problem for Joan Laporta in this moment is that, in spite of the rumours that approach to Haaland to the Barça, there is not with what face an operation of east calibrate. Although sand has confirmed that the clause liberatoria of the Norwegian is of 75 million euros, is not the only that it is necessary to pay. To this figure, it is necessary to add some 60 'kilos' in commissions for Mino Raiola and the father of the player, as well as a wage of 'crack' that would rise to the 35 or 40 millions by season... The Barça did not have to retain to Messi in summer by less... And now neither!

And that is the raw reality of the Barça. Haaland Is the dream of Joan Laporta, his obsession if it wants , but for the moment see him of Barcelona is a chimaera. It is an enormous economic effort and there is not with what face it to day of today. They can have extraordinary income (would be the solution) but the subject of the limit salarial (that the Barça exceeds in 372 millions) also plays against. Only it remains to see if the Barcelona can find a formula, but is complicated... However, at the end of the day, the culés will exhaust all his options not to see to Haaland, also, of white.
