Crisis, what crisis? Apparently, Barcelona is in a difficult financial situation, with a big debt and in need of offloading players in order to buy any new ones. But don’t tell that to the president Joan Laporta. Because he just bought Ferran Torres for Ksh, Alvaro Morata deal is almost done and now, Erling Haaland is on his way to Camp Nou! According to reports from Spain, the player’s agent, (in)famous Mino Raiola and Barca’s president made a pact regarding the player and his future.🔄 (HAALAND): Erling Haaland will play for Barcelona next season if the club is able to raise the funds necessary to carry out the operation. Raiola has already given his word to Laporta.• Haaland does not want to play in the same team as Mbappé.Via (🟠): @DeportesCuatro pic.twitter.com/B7o2YcdORb— Barça Buzz (@Barca_Buzz) January 4, 2022 So, according to that pact, Laporta was able to say to his associates behind closed doors: ‘I’m going to sign Haaland next summer’. But what does the pact say? Mundo Deportivo reports that it means that if Barca’s president manages to raise the money necessary to carry out the operation, the current Borussia Dortmund player will land at the Camp Nou next summer. The report does make sense if you add the facts that apparently Haaland wants to play in Spain, but doesn’t want to share his playing time with Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Benzema at Real. So, the logical option is Barcelona, who will have a team full of young stars like Gavi, Pedri and Fati, accompanied by Ferran Torres and Alvaro Morata. Xavi puts final pieces of the offensive puzzle together: Torres presented, Morata on his way to Camp NouThe possible Haaland operation, according to “Deportes Cuatro”, would exceed 12.5 billion Ksh and would include the actual transfer, commission to Mino Raiola and player’s father, and transfer of another Raiola’s footballer, Ajax’s right-back, Noussair Mazroui. Haaland’s contract would be 3 + 2 years, with a yearly salary of approximately 3.8 billion Ksh. And what about that financial crisis we talked about at the beginning of the article? “Barca has a debt of 300 million euros and has signed Ferran for 55 and is going to sign Morata and even Haaland, says the president. Where is the Fair Play?” asked Valencia coach Jose Bordalas. Where is indeed?
