Haaland Prioritizes Barcelona over Madrid Amid Transfer Speculation

One of FC Barcelona’s primary objectives since Joan Laporta’s return has been Erling Haaland. The Norwegian forward is a dream signing for the Blaugrana president, who has already held some meetings with Rafaela Pimienta, his agent.

This morning, on the Cadena SER program “Què T’hi Jugues,” Bojan Krkic, father of former Barcelona player and former club scouting department employee, discussed the possibility of Haaland joining the Catalan club. Krkic stated, “Erling Haaland prioritizes Barcelona. If he has to choose between Barcelona and Madrid, he would go to Barcelona.”

While Barcelona faces significant financial challenges, Krkic believes that the New Camp Nou will be a great boost for the club. “Barcelona is gradually recovering. Returning to the Camp Nou will change a lot in terms of marketing and merchandising. Then investors appear, player sales…”

Regarding Haaland, Bojan Sr. even ventured to suggest a possible arrival date for the Norwegian. According to him, in the 2025/26 season, there could be many opportunities for the transfer to materialize. He also recalled that the player’s first stop was in Barcelona to speak with Laporta.
