Barça still holds hopes of signing Erling Haaland in the future. The possible sanction against Manchester City is key

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The search for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski in the center of the attack allows FC Barcelona to dream big. The blue and burgundy entity, and especially Joan Laporta, want to replace the Polish scorer with a top-level '9', and aside from alternatives like Viktor Gyökeres or Jonathan David, Erling Haaland remains the main target for the culés.

The Norwegian forward is the great desire of the blue president since the beginning of his second term at the club, and although today it seems a distant option, his arrival would still be possible. The Catalan institution is working on finding various levers to solve its 'financial fair play' issues, and once they close this chapter, they expect to be able to undertake a major operation like that of the Nordic player.

The factors that make Haaland's signing possible

According to information from 'El Chiringuito de Jugones', the blaugranas are confident in securing Haaland's arrival next summer due to the sanction that Manchester City could receive for the 115 charges against them for breaching 'financial fair play' rules. 

The 'skyblues' could even face relegation, a scenario that would facilitate the forward's departure from the Etihad Stadium. At Can Barça, they are closely monitoring the situation and await the green light to set the machinery in motion, although the competition will not be easy, as clubs like Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also on the trail of the '9'.
