Haaland's annual salary will reportedly reach 30 million euros.
Haaland previously told fans that he would be playing in La Liga, and it was clear that his choice was only between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Haaland's liquidated damages are €75 million, but Barca still need to deal with his difficult agent, Rayola. According to reporters, Barca president Laporta and Rayola have reached an agreement that as long as Barca can afford to pay (transfer fees and salaries), Haaland will join. It is worth mentioning that Laporta and Laiola have a good personal relationship, which will help Barca's reinforcements.

Coutinho is close to leaving in the winter window, with a number of Premier League teams including Villa, Everton and Liverpool looking to bring in the Brazilian midfielder, with Arsenal and Coutinho the closest, having already offered €6.5 million, and the Brazilian is not far from leaving Camp Nou. If Coutinho leaves, Barca could save an annual salary of 23 million euros.
In another piece of good news, the loyal waste chai Umtiti finally agreed to leave the team, confirmed by Spanish journalist Gabriel. Previously, Umtiti had rejected more than 5 offers, and now he finally figured it out that he would have to leave Barca even on loan. Umtiti is Barca's third-highest-paid player per year, and the Frenchman's departure could save Barca around €15 million in annual salary.
