"Barcelona" prepares for possible departure of L. Messi: plans for successor from Argentina

The new president of "Barcelona" club Joan Laporta is preparing for further discussions with the team's head coach Ronald Koeman. As AS writes, next week the most important members of the team will discuss what to do if they fail to keep forward Lionel Messi, who will become a free agent in the summer. There are not many candidates to replace the longtime leader of "La Liga", with Dortmund's "Borussia" sniper Erling Haaland being one of the main names. It is said that in case of losing L. Messi, "Barcelona" would make efforts and take advantage of all opportunities to invite the talented Norwegian. If the current forward of the Catalan team decides not to come, the club would not lose sight of E. Haaland, but would focus on other positions.
