FC BARCELONA - Haaland will not arrive, priority is to extend Leo Messi's contract
According to TV3, Erling Haaland will not be a Barça player next season. The biggest obstacle is the high cost of the operation and also because Barça's priority is to extend Leo Messi's contract, which expires next month.
Signing the Borussia Dortmund striker is currently unsustainable by Barcelona. Several weeks ago Mino Raiola, the player's agent, had met Laporta and then Real Madrid too. Barça renounced Haaland this summer because their main priority is to tie the extension of Messi's contract.
At the moment, in fact, the transfer of Haaland would cost around 150 million euros plus the player's salary. In 2022, on the other hand, it will be enough to pay the release clause of 75 million euros, even if Barcelona will always have to fight against many teams, above all Manchester City and PSG.
