Barca have issued an official announcement that Aguero will attend Wednesday's press conference with Laporta, and the media have revealed that Aguero is likely to announce his retirement due to heart problems. If KUN Shen retires, it will be another major blow to Barca, Luc De Jong has been abandoned by Xavi, which means that Barca need to find a new candidate in the center position. Marca revealed that Laporta has made a decision that he will sign Haaland at all costs next summer.
Marca pointed out that Barca need a new scorer, and this season Barca's offensive firepower has been very weak, scoring only 25 goals in La Liga 16 matches, while Real Madrid have scored 39 goals. In the Champions League, Barca scored only 2 goals in 6 games and were eliminated, while Bayern in the same group scored 22 goals in 6 games, which is not a big difference. While Fati is on the verge of recovering from injury, it's not enough, and next summer Haaland will be Barca's top pick for a reinforcement, with the Norwegian striker already scoring 17 goals in 13 games this season.
Laporta met with agent Rayola in Turin on Monday, and the two sides talked about Haaland's transfer, in addition to Pogba, Simmons and Mazlawi, but the first choice is still Haaland. Barca hope to take the first step out of the revival by signing Haaland, the "magic man Buo" is one of the hottest players in the transfer market at the moment, Barca already knows his transfer price, Laporta wants to persuade Laiola to lower the commission figure, which is rumored to be charged up to 40 million euros from Haaland's next transfer, a figure that Barca cannot afford.
As for Haaland's transfer fee, Dort had previously denied the existence of a 75 million termination clause, and his value had reached 150 million euros as the Norwegian got better. Barca don't have the money to bring in Haaland in the winter, but after cleaning up redundant staff and introducing new sponsorships, it is also possible that Barca will launch an offensive against Haaland next summer. Laporta has shown his determination to sign Haaland, telling the Norwegian that he will be the protagonist of Camp Nou and that Haaland will shine in La Liga.
As we all know, Haaland is also a key target for Real Madrid's reinforcements, and the battleship hopes to gather the new unique double of Zimbape + Haaland in the summer of 2022. But judging by Laporta's statement, Barca have joined Haaland strongly, and the Norwegians need to make their own decisions. However, in the case that Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have left La Liga, if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid and Haaland goes to Barca, the 2 will take over the mantle of Mero and re-form a confrontation situation in La Liga, which may also be a scene that neutral fans want to see.
