Revealed: Erling Haaland transfer is Barcelona's 'great dream' with La Liga giants hopeful of beating Real Madrid to Man City superstar thanks to new Spotify Camp Nou project

The Catalan club are making plans for the summer of 2025 and have their heart set on luring Haaland away from City, Mundo Deportivo reports. Barca are currently struggling with financial issues but they hope the refurbishment of Camp Nou will help solve their troubles and provide the funds to sign the Norwegian striker ahead of the 2025-26 season.

The Blaugrana are currently relying on Robert Lewandowski up front and are satisfied with the Polish striker, who recently rejected an offer of a €100 million salary from a club in Saudi Arabia. They are, however, in need of a replacement given the ex-Bayern Munich star is now 35 years old.

Haaland's agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has a good relationship with Barca and could prove crucial in the club's bid to beat Real Madrid to his signing. The Santiago Bernabeu side are expected to sign Kylian Mbappe this year but have also been linked to Haaland in recent transfer windows.

City superstar Haaland will hope to fire the Premier League team to further silverware this season, having helped them to European and domestic glory last term. It remains to be seen whether he will opt for a new challenge when Barca come calling in 2025.
