Barcelona is going through a disastrous period both domestically and in Europe, the "Blaugrana" team being prematurely eliminated from the Champion League. With only 31 points, Barcelona occupies the 6th place in the Spanish championship, and is trying hard to return to the elite of world football. Thus, the coach of the Catalans, Xavi, starts making a list of the players he wants to buy.
Barcelona has many names of players in the "collimator" for a new transfer, but what seems to be needed by the Catalan club is to bring in a valuable striker to replace the goals left by Messi, Suarez or Griezman.
Barcelona seems to want Erling Haaland, the player of the Borussia Dortmund team, he being the priority target of the Catalan club, which hopes that in the 13 days left of the transfer period, they will solve the bringing of the 21-year-old Norwegian attacker. With 13 goals scored in 15 matches played in the Bundesliga, Erling Haaland is one of the most coveted players in Europe at the moment. He still has a contract with Dortmund until the summer of 2024, but due to the very good developments, important European clubs are interested in the young attacker.
Barcelona still has a difficult mission, because regarding his future, Erling Haaland declared that he feels pressured by the club management: "In the last six months, I have not said anything about my future, out of respect for the club. Lately they have been pushing me to make a decision. I just want to focus on football, but it's impossible. It is not the ideal time to make such decisions, we are in an important phase of the season. but Dortmund is pressuring me"
For Barcelona, Haaland would represent a real hit on the transfer market, due to his age, imposing physique, but also his qualities as a scorer, but also given that the team lacks a true number nine, the striker remaining the number one goal for the group. At only 21 years old, Haaland has remarkable numbers both in the championship, but especially in the Champions League, where in just 19 games he scored 23 goals for Borussia Dortmund.
Despite his size (1.94m), he has a very good speed in attacks towards the opposing goal. But what could make him adapt best to Barcelona, is his "obsession" to score, and his appearance in the opposing box would impose some fear among opposing defenders.
