Joan Laporta wants to make a significant impact on FC Barcelona's team in 2025. The president is clear that the time has come to make a big transfer and knows exactly who the target is. If Real Madrid has Mbappé, he wants the other crown jewel defending the blaugrana colors at the remodeled Camp Nou. We're talking about Erling Haaland, who has decided to leave Manchester City at the end of this season.
Erling Haaland has a clause in his contract that allows him to unilaterally terminate his agreement with Manchester City. Laporta is willing to activate it and has Deco working on it already, knowing it's a financially complicated operation. For the Norwegian to end up wearing Barça's jersey, 175 million euros will be necessary. Certainly a difficult figure to obtain, but it will eventually come; no one doubts it.
Laporta Has a Great Goal for 2025: Deco is Working on It and Hansi Flick Celebrates
The plan at FC Barcelona is clear: Erling Haaland has to arrive this coming summer. Those 175 million euros will have to be paid, but it will be easier than before. Being back in the 1:1 rule and with the recent renewed contract with Nike, everything will lead to the Norwegian's changing scenery. He'll head to Spain and will do so to defend the culer jersey, in a move that has been worked on for months with his agent, Rafaela Pimienta.
Barça doesn't want mediocrity and will only make transfers if great stars are coming. Erling Haaland is one. The rest will be players from La Masia. The plan is clear and, although it's complicated, there's a powerful ally to try to achieve it: Nike.
The results of Hansi Flick please the American company, disappointed with Barça's performance in recent years. The agreement is already signed and the intention is for a great Nike player to end up wearing the culer jersey, the chosen one is Erling Haaland.
Erling Haaland's arrival will be a high cost for Barça, becoming the most expensive transfer in its history. It will be worth i, however, and Nike is willing to put more money from its pocket to close this important move. Laporta has made him his main target for 2025 and won't stop until he achieves it: He's got him in his sights.
