“Barcelona” team prepared for the hunt for “Man City” striker Erling Haaland.

Various journalists report that the Catalans are trying not to give in to the Madrid “Real” team, which is already likely to have attracted French national team striker Kylian Mbappe.

It is reported that this week the sports director of “Barcelona” club Deco met with E. Haaland's agents Rafaela Pimenta and Maxwell. People leaving the cafe after the conversation also caught the eye of paparazzi.

According to journalist Gerardo Romero, the Norwegian's move to “Barca” is a difficult but achievable task.

It was previously reported that the athlete will be able to leave the “citizens” for a sum of 200 million euros next summer, and in 2025 the buyout will drop to 175 million euros.
