Spectacular rumor from Spain!
FC Barcelona is said to be ready to go to its financial limits for a commitment from Dortmund’s top striker Erling Haaland (21) in the summer.
In order to cope with the mega deal, three players are to be sold and new sponsorship deals bagged. This is reported by the Spanish “SPORT”. Ousmane Dembelé (24), Luuk de Jong (31) and Memphis Depay (27) could leave the Catalans for Haaland.
There would also be an urgent need to get the three strikers off the payroll, after all, Barcelona have also accumulated gigantic liabilities of €1 billion as a result of the Corona pandemic!
The solution could be a three-year deal with the streaming platform “Spotify” for 270 million euros, which is said to be in the room and is intended to make Barça liquid again. The traditional stadium would then be called “Spotify Camp Nou” from 2022/2023. The fans are anything but happy about it.
It is questionable, however, whether Erling Haaland even wants to switch to Barcelona: Despite its glorious history, the club is far from the top European level after being eliminated from the Champions League and fourth place in the league. And that’s exactly what the Norwegian is looking for in his possible future employer with the recommendation of 16 goals in 14 Bundesliga games.
Paris St. Germain, Real Madrid or Manchester City are more likely to be in the running.
His agent Raiola keeps doing business with PSG. It was only last summer that he arranged the free transfer of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma (22) from Milan to the capital city (BILD reported). The future of Erling Haaland. It remains exciting…
