Haaland's wish that brings him closer to Barça and Real Madrid

March will be a transcendental month for the future of Erling Haaland. The directive of the Borussian Dortmund expects that the forward announce the decision on his future in the weeks to come to define if the player decides to renew his agreement with the Germans or leave this season. The FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid are the clubs predilectos by the surroundings of the player, but the chequebook of the Manchester City will not put the easy things and, from the economic point of view, the English have clear advantage in the negotiations.

The traspaso of the 'killer' rondará the 120 million euros, explaining the clause of 75 millions that have to credit him to the Borussia and the 40 'kilos' that correspond to the father of Erling and to Mino Raiola, his representative. The directive headed by Joan Laporta trusts can pay the signing, although in Catalonia know that the 'citizens' can offer a better wage on a long-term basis to the Norwegian. However, further of the affection of the family Haaland by the City, the priority of the forward is to play in Spain, and Barça and Madrid know it.

Further of the economic, Erling thinks in the sportive and is there where the culés have to aim to convince to the '9' of the Dortmund. In Santiago Bernabéu, Haaland will be forced to share leadership with Kylian Mbappé, main objective 'merengue' for the next market and, in fact, the intentions of the club go through demorar a year more the arrival of Haaland to Spain. Instead, in Barcelona the 'crack' will turn into the main figure of the new project blaugrana to the hand of Xavi Hernández. The club expects to consolidate his bases in what it remains of the 2021-22 and recover the prestige, aiming to the elite again from the next season with the Norwegian like leader of the attack culé.

At City, for his part, the Norwegian would only be guaranteed ownership from the start, because with Pep Guardiola you never know. It is well known that the Catalan coach prefers to play without '9' and, beyond transfers and 'galactic' salaries, with him nobody is guaranteed ownership. It happened to Zlatan Ibrahimović, who at the time came as the most expensive signing in the history of Barça in 2009 and was never able to win the trust of the coach. Now, Jack Grealish lives a similar situation in the 'citizens'. Despite being the most expensive signing in the history of the Premier League, today the English winger is a substitute. Will Haaland fit into Pep's plans? His signing seems more like a whim of the board than a request from the coach himself.

Barcelona, ​​a sensible option for Erling

In this way, due to a sports project, the option of signing with FC Barcelona looks like a sensible decision for the Norwegian, both economically and sportingly. Guaranteed prominence and an ambitious sports project with him as the spearhead, in one of the biggest clubs in the world. Xavi's Barça already has the bases of the club of the future and Erling would be the ideal complement for the mix of youth and experience that the club has at the moment. In addition to the Dortmund '9', the board is working on other signings to strengthen the defense in the summer and completes a squad capable of going for everything in 2022-23.
