Since the start of the week, the Catalan press has been on fire and announced that the Norwegian Erling Haaland has decided to join Barça at the end of the season. Xavi, the Culés coach, would have traveled to Germany and convinced him. Asked about it at a press conference on Wednesday, he took stock.
“You confirm that I met Haaland. I did not know. It’s always a good time to come to Barça, for any footballer. There hasn’t been a footballer who has said no to Barca since I’ve been here.”. He then added: “The player we want to sign here, we talk to him about the game model, the training sessions. If you touch 20 balls in another club, here you will touch 40. The club, the city which is magnificent, the history of Barça… I try to convince them that coming to Barça is a golden opportunity. It remains to be seen whether Haaland is convinced.
