It is very difficult for Barcelona to recruit Haaland at the present time, but the story may be different in a year’s time.

Barcelona is in a difficult period. The Camp Nou home team has many financial problems, thereby preventing them from creating famous transfer deals. 

However, according to SPORT and Mundo Deportivo (Spain), Barcelona is still determined to bring Haaland back when the 2025 summer transfer window opens, about more than a year from now. In the 2024 summer transfer window, it is completely impossible. 

Haaland has a contract until the summer of 2027 with Man City

There were many factors that made Barcelona believe that they were open to recruiting Haaland at that time. The first is that Barcelona predicts their revenue in 2025 will be better. Thanks to that, the Camp Nou home team thought about spending a large amount of money to recruit the Norwegian striker. 

Barcelona also needs to find a new striker, as Lewandowski is gradually losing performance due to age issues. The Polish striker’s contract with Barcelona only lasts until the summer of 2026.

2025 is also the time when Haaland spends 3 years playing with Man City. There is no exception to the possibility that the striker born in 2000 is thinking of finding a new challenge when he is full of titles with the blue half of Manchester.

Coach Pep Guardiola has a contract until the summer of 2025 with Man City. Currently, the Spanish strategist and “The Citizens” have no plans to extend the contract. If coach Pep Guardiola leaves at that time, it is likely that it will also affect Haaland’s decision to go or stay at Man City.

Mundo Deportivo newspaper revealed in the past that Barcelona had received Haaland’s nod. Specifically, in the 2022 summer transfer window, coach Xavi had talks with Haaland. The Norwegian striker also visited Camp Nou and agreed to join Barcelona. 

However, Barcelona did not have enough money to recruit Haaland at that time. Therefore, they had to let go of the striker born in 2000 to Man City. Instead, Barcelona bought Lewandowski for about 50 million euros.

Mbappe is highly likely to go to Real Madrid in the 2024 summer transfer window. If Barcelona brings Haaland to La Liga, the football world will soon witness the ultimate competition between the two brightest stars in contemporary football.
