Just in: Barcelona are hoping to bursts there squad as Erlin Haaland chooses his next club

Barcelona are hoping Man City face punishment over alleged FFP breaches in order to help them land Erling Haaland, according to reports.

The Norway international has been in incredible form since arriving at the Eithad Stadium in the summer of 2022, scoring 52 goals in 53 matches in all competitions in his first season.

However, the Man City striker didn’t do much to pour cold water on rumours earlier this month with Haaland insisting that “you never know what the future brings” when asked about rumours linking him with Real Madrid.

When asked about his future, Haaland said: “I’m really happy, especially with the people I’m surrounded by.

“The manager, the directors, the board, I am really happy I have to say. I say this now, it will probably be a massive headline, tomorrow you never know what the future brings but I am happy. You can write this but you also have to write everything I said before. I am happy.”

When asked if he would be willing to sign a new contract at Man City, Haaland added: “Yeah, my focus is mainly now on the pitch, there’s a lot of games, two days ago a derby, now CL, Sunday is Liverpool so I think I should focus on that.”

And now Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo claims that Haaland is the ‘great dream for the summer of 2025’ for Barcelona with the Catalan giants hoping Robert Lewandowski will stay at the Camp Nou until at least the end of next campaign.

Barcelona are looking to make just one or two additions in the next transfer window, according to president Joan Laporta, while ‘maintaining the base of the current squad’
