Lamine Yamal isn't wasting any time and is seizing his moment to take on a leadership role at the FC Barcelona. Despite his young age, he's a player who ignites passion, capable of convincing his fellow professionals to play alongside him. At Barça, they're aware that sooner rather than later, they'll need to find a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, but the Spaniard has already found it: Erling Haaland.
El Nacional has revealed that Lamine Yamal is clear that Erling Haaland would be the perfect complement to his play style. The Norwegian from Manchester City has a goal-scoring instinct, physical ability, and a knack for scoring, something the Barça academy graduate would greatly benefit from. Taking advantage of his great assisting skills, Haaland would thrive if he wore the FC Barcelona jersey.
Laporta already knows Lamine Yamal's plans, although it's true that the Erling Haaland operation presents many obstacles. In any case, Barça has been preparing for some time to gather the funds needed to make a big move in the near future, and the reality is that Haaland fits the bill.
Erling Haaland: Nike Could Help, Money Ready for Laporta
Laporta isn't in a hurry, and his strategy involves convincing Erling Haaland, his main target, not to leave City until 2026. And he has the collaboration of Guardiola, who already likes the agreement.
Laporta's goal is for Erling Haaland to be the special guest in Barça's team for the inauguration of the new Camp Nou. The key is to convince him not to accept any offer other than Barça's. And that's where Pep Guardiola comes in.
The rest is up to the new Camp Nou, which, as it nears the end of construction, will multiply the revenue it should generate for the club. Additionally, Nike is willing to provide a "transfer bonus" as an advance to help Barça solve its problems.
The results of Flick please the American company, disappointed with Barça's performance in recent years. The agreement is already signed, and the intention is for a major Nike player to end up wearing the culer jersey, with Erling Haaland being the chosen one.
The operation for Erling Haaland will be a significant expense for Barça, becoming the most expensive transfer in its history. But it's worth it... and Nike is willing to put more money on the table to close this important deal.
