FC Barcelona will try to sign Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland, who has become their 'most desired’ transfer target according to a report.
Nine points adrift of their rivals in the La Liga title race, whilst also 4-1 behind to PSG in the Champions League last 16, it is no secret that Barça have failed in gifting Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid.
The Uruguayan, who became the third all-time top scorer at the Camp Nou from 2014-2020, is still capable of top form at the age of 33 and is leading close friend Lionel Messi in the Pichichi race on 16 goals.
But the Blaugrana must move on, and after publicly courting Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez and falling short of meeting his lofty €111mn release clause, Haaland has now become top priority as Mundo Deportivo claim on Saturday.
How a coup for 20-year-old Haaland would be pulled off in such an economically-sensitive moment is anyone's guess.
Arguably the most impacted superclub by the coronavirus, Barça were on track for record revenue in early 2020 but are now reportedly in €1.173bn’s worth of debt of which €730m is due in the short-term and €266m has a deadline of 30 June.
Yet there is a belief that Haaland will have a reasonable release clause himself of just €75mn in the summer, and presidential candidates vying to win next week's election are already thinking how they can make the numbers work.
Haaland would also command high wages, yet if Messi walks at the end of the season, or others such as Samuel Umtiti, Philippe Coutinho, Junior Firpo and Neto all leave, this sticking point becomes easier to resolve.
Still yet to renew his terms, old Dortmund charge Ousmame Dembélé is also a free agent in 2022 and could be sold in the next window.
In any event, an FCB outfit on the brink of being left behind, especially if bitter rivals Real Madrid lure hat trick hero Kylian Mbappé, should move Heaven and Earth for Haaland, who has scored 24 goals.om 25 games this term.
And while the club unfortunately has previous with the player’s agent Mino Raiola, the Italian enjoys a good relationship with lead presidential candidate Joan Laporta or could start from scratch with Victor Font if he were to assume power.
