The hopes of Barcelona’s supporters of one day seeing Manchester City frontman Erling Haaland take to the pitch in the famed colours of their club have today been afforded a boost.
This comes amid claims that the Norwegian, for his part, would favour a move to Catalunya, over Madrid.
Haaland, for his part, represents a long-term ‘dream’ signing for Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who views the 23-year-old as a needed ‘superstar’ addition to the club’s ranks.
In turn, plans are already understood to have been put in place, to launch an all-out assault for Haaland’s signature in the summer of 2025.
And one individual who appears to be of the opinion that Barca should be quietly confident in their pursuit of the prolific striker, comes in the form of Bojan Krkic.
Speaking in an interview with Cadena SER’s “Què T’hi Jugues” (as cited by Diario Sport) on Tuesday, Bojan, father of the ex-Blaugrana starlet of the same name, who also spent time working in the scouting department at the Camp Nou, assured that Haaland himself is keen on linking up with the club:
“Erling Haaland prioritizes Barça. If he has to choose between Barça and Madrid, he would go to Barça.”
Not only that, but Bojan went on to add that the transfer, based on his information, could ‘very easily’ come to fruition with a view to the 2025/26 campaign.
