"No, it's highly unlikely (that he joins Barcelona). I think he'd be a dream signing for almost any club, Haaland, and Man City are lucky enough to have him. He signed a new long-term contract extension last year to keep him at the Etihad until 2034, so to try and prise Haaland out of Man City would take well in excess of 150m, even more than that."
"City don't want to lose their star man, we know how important he is to Man City with five goals in four Premier League games so far this season. He is arguably the best striker in Europe, his figures tell you that, so Man City don't want to lose him. Barcelona would love the idea of having Haaland as a long-term replacement for Lewandowski, but their financial issues would make it very, very hard for them."
Barcelona want to sign Manchester City striker Erling Haaland next summer to replace Robert Lewandowski, who is expected to depart at the end of this season. Haaland has nine goals in nine appearances including the Club World Cup and scored six goals in two matches for Norway during the international break, reinforcing his status as the best striker. Haaland signed a long-term contract extension to 2034, making any transfer likely to cost well in excess of 150m. Manchester City have no plans to sell and would be reluctant to lose a player crucial to their attack. Barcelona would need to sell multiple players to fund such a deal, while Real Madrid are also interested.
