Barcelona Prepared to Compete for Erling Haaland’s Signature in 2025
Barcelona is gearing up for a potential battle to secure the signing of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland in 2025, according to reports from 90min.
Haaland, the Norwegian forward, is believed to have a release clause of €175 million that is set to become active during the summer transfer window of 2025.
Despite facing recent financial challenges, Barcelona is reportedly devising a strategy to acquire Haaland two years before the release clause becomes effective.
The club aims to secure Haaland as a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski, who will be 37 years old in 2025 and may potentially leave that year.
Real Madrid is also keen on signing Haaland when he is ready to depart Manchester City, as they view him as the ideal player to lead their future attack.
While the source of this report may not be entirely reliable, it is clear that Barcelona is determined not to let Haaland join Real Madrid without putting up a fight.
In contrast, Manchester City is actively working to secure Haaland’s long-term commitment to the club, potentially negating the rumored release clause.
