City eyes a potential signing from Barça: Is Erling Haaland in danger?

The Manchester City ended its dreadful streak of 13 matches without a win with a convincing victory against Leicester City last Sunday (0-2). A win in which Erling Haaland once again appeared in the statistics, scoring the second and decisive goal of the match, thus ending his goal drought of four matches without finding the net.

The Norwegian was one of the main victims of the poor form of the 'skyblues', and his effectiveness inside the area was severely punished, scoring only four goals in the last 14 matches played in the Premier League. This stagnation raised alarms at the Etihad Stadium, where they are reportedly looking to strengthen their attack.

In this regard, the 'Daily Mail' has revealed that the Manchester club is tracking Omar Marmoush, a forward who has established himself as one of the revelations of the season at Eintracht Frankfurt. The Egyptian has 18 goals and 12 assists in 24 matches this season, attracting the interest of major clubs across the continent, with FC Barcelona being one of them.

Is Haaland a possibility for Barça?

The operation for the African player would be around 50 million euros, but City will seek to close his transfer for a lower amount. If they succeed, doubts about Haaland's continuity in Manchester will only increase.

The future of the '9' has been in question for some time, as while the 'citizens' are working to extend his contract, both Barça and Real Madrid and PSG are hoping to convince him to join their ranks. The Catalan club, in particular, has begun the search for a possible replacement for Robert Lewandowski, and Erling is the great dream of Joan Laporta.

Although, at first glance, signing him seems like a utopia, the reality is that the possible sanction that the 'skyblues' could receive for the 115 charges against them for financial 'fair play' issues, combined with their sporting crisis and the clause that would allow the forward to request his departure if the club does not qualify for the Champions League, gives the culés hope for his possible arrival.

For now, there is nothing concrete, but the latest moves from Manchester point to the probable departure of the scorer, and in the Catalan capital, they are rubbing their hands together.
