Mundo Deportivo, who deals with the fight between European tenors for Haaland in front page, talks about Laporta’s hope of attracting a striker who could be the best in his role for a decade or so. A hope that we told you about in the Mercato Buzz this Thursday, and that we want to believe. But the feasibility of the operation seems more complex, in the light of the finances of the Blaugranas. Besides the advantage of convincing (or not) Lionel Messi to sign a new lease, the Agüero track has the attraction of being less expensive.

Because Haaland is 20 years old, a striking ferocity in front of the cage, the statistic of 20 goals in 14 Champions League matches, but also and above all a contract that extends until 2024 with Borussia Dortmund. Enough to lend it a very high market value. The specialized site Transfermarkt estimates it at 110 million euros. The stake does not lie only in the fact of seducing the Norwegian.
So: clause or not?
But then, why would FC Barcelona believe it? Because he gathered essential information in this file, according to the newspaper published in Catalonia. During the second full season of his contract with Borussia (this 2020-2021 fiscal year) Haaland would have a clause stipulating that he could leave the German club for a sum of around 75 million euros. His agent, Mino Raiola, would have leaked the existence of this leverage in the negotiations, which Dortmund would refute.
75 million euros, that would remain a significant investment. It is difficult to know who can afford it in such a situation, but Mundo Deportivo lists the contenders, with a big “Premier League” tendency: the two clubs of Manchester, Liverpool, Chelsea, Juventus and Real Madrid. With Bayern Munich always on the lookout.

Klopp’s sacrifice, CR7 concerned
In detail, our colleagues put forward the following arguments. Thomas Tuchel “dreams of himself” for the Blues. Pep Guardiola would see his Citizens even more decisive with such a top finisher. The Red Devils are said to be counting on the proximity between Haaland and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to convince the new star to sign. Jürgen Klopp is said to be ready to “sacrifice some of his main attackers”.
And far from England? Juventus would be all the more in the race as they could soon part ways with Paolo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo. The connection with Raiola would be an asset up his sleeve. Bayern side, nothing concrete, but an eye kept on the wonder. Finally, Real would not be ruled out, having good relations with Dortmund. Regarding Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, the Madrid club figure, anyway, in all equations. Equations that have not finished talking, or writing.
“At Real, Cristiano Ronaldo put the club back in its place, that is to say on the roof of Europe”
