Despite Barca’s current financial pressures, Laporta remains confident of signing Haarland before the summer window next year or 2026, which is one of his promised big signings. Haarland is undoubtedly one of the best scorers in football today, and his performance in the English Premier League and the national team is quite outstanding, attracting the attention of many clubs, Barcelona is no exception.
For now, Barca’s main striker Robert Lewandowski is still in good form, scoring 12 goals and sending two assists in 11 games, not inferior to Haarand’s performance. However, considering that Lewan has reached 36 years old, the future state is difficult to guarantee, so Barcelona hope to complete the acquisition of Haelland before Lewan’s contract expires (2026), so that even if Lewan reties, Barcelona can still have a top scorer.
Barca also has a good relationship with Haaland’s agent, Mino Raiola, and both sides are happy to move the deal forward. With a young squad taking shape and Julian Nagelsmann in charge, Barca is well positioned to continue to compete with Real Madrid.
