How much will Barcelona pay for Erling Haaland in the race for La Liga
Barcelona keeps alive the hope of signing Erling Haaland, but the Norwegian striker remains tied to Manchester City until 2034, which complicates the race for La Liga. As for the cost, there are still no figures, but the Catalan club could move forward with an offer as early as 2027, according to Football Insider.
Contract until 2034 blocks negotiation
Erling Haaland's contract with Manchester City only ends in 2034, and the English say they do not intend to release the striker. This clause represents a major obstacle for Barcelona and any other interested club. Football Insider highlights that the situation hampers movement in the transfer market.
Possible proposal in 2027
Barcelona could move forward with an offer as early as 2027, according to Football Insider sources. Currently, the club has Raphinha as the spearhead, and the Brazilian is living a dream season, scoring regularly. However, the desire to secure Erling Haaland in the future remains alive among the Catalan board.
Erling Haaland, 26 years old, has already made six appearances this season, with six goals scored. The performance reinforces Barcelona's interest, which sees the Norwegian striker as the definitive solution for the attack.
The Catalan club is already considering upcoming transfer markets, with the 2026/27 season running perfectly, at least for now. The strategy includes preparing financial resources and evaluating options before launching a concrete proposal.
Meanwhile, Barcelona keeps its focus on team development, awaiting the right moment to negotiate with Manchester City and overcome the obstacle of the extended contract.
