Barcelona’s ‘dream’ signing is negotiating a new deal with current club

Journalist Luis Miguelsanz has shared exciting updates through SPORT regarding Barcelona’s interest in Erling Haaland. 

It appears that the striker is currently engaged in discussions with Manchester City about extending his contract. In fact, Haaland is taking steps to clarify his future, and all signs point to him potentially renewing his contract with the English club.

Reports indicate that Haaland and his team are already negotiating an extension that would take his contract beyond the current agreement, which is set to last until 2027. 

Although potential sanctions are looming for Manchester City from the Premier League, Haaland seems keen to continue his journey with the club. 

However, he is also interested in including an escape clause in his new deal, allowing him some flexibility for the future.

The speculation about a possible transfer to Barcelona gained momentum a few months ago when Haaland’s agent visited the city to discuss various matters related to the transfer market. 

Unfortunately, Barcelona’s financial struggles cast doubt on any potential deal, complicating their efforts to bring in new talent next summer.

It is worth noting that he desires a release clause that is not prohibitively high for clubs outside the Premier League. This clause would provide him with security should he decide to explore opportunities in Spain after completing his time in England.

Everything points to Lewandowski’s continuity

Meanwhile, if Haaland does choose to renew with Manchester City, it is highly likely that he will remain with the club for the next season. However, by 2026, he may reassess his options and consider leaving. 

Meanwhile, Barcelona are actively searching for a new striker for the upcoming season. It is anticipated that Robert Lewandowski will automatically renew his contract, as he is expected to play in over fifty percent of the team’s matches. 

The future remains uncertain, but Haaland’s potential renewal with Manchester City could significantly impact Barcelona’s plans for their attacking lineup.
