Although Barça and Real Madrid have been working for some time on signing Erling Haaland, Bayern and PSG will fight to acquire the Norwegian

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Times are turbulent at Manchester City. The 'skyblue' team, immersed in a sporting crisis where results are not favoring the team, is going through one of its most complicated moments in recent years not only on the field but also off it, due to the uncertainty surrounding the 'trial of the century' and the possible sanction they might face.

In the midst of this 'wild' context, the name of Erling Haaland begins to emerge among the major clubs on the continent as a potential target for the transfer market. The 'citizens' are willing to go all out to renew his contract, which expires in 2027, but for now, nothing is concrete, and both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are keeping an eye on his situation.

Two tough rivals for Barça and Madrid

The culés are looking for a '9' to replace Robert Lewandowski in the medium term at the center of the attack, and the Norwegian is the great dream of Joan Laporta. For his part, Florentino Pérez wants to complete his personal 'sticker album' with the Nordic and promises to be a tough rival in the race for the player.

However, 'El Nacional.cat' claims that both Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also on the trail of Haaland. The Bavarians were already part of the 'bidding' for the scorer when he was still with Borussia Dortmund, while the French are in need of a star since the departure of Kylian Mbappé, and the player from Leeds would be the chosen one to be the new franchise player of the entity.

As of today, nothing is decided regarding Erling's future at City or his possible departure from the club, but the truth is that the race for his signing is starting to take shape, and both Barça and Madrid will need to be prepared to face tough competition for the signing of their coveted star.
