Throughout this season, barca's most lacking thing may be goals. Barca have scored 31 goals in 20 La Liga games this season, compared to 45 for Real Madrid. In the Champions League group stage, Barca scored only 2 goals in 6 games, while Bayern in the same group scored 22 goals, and in the end the Rossandrors could only play in the Europa League as the third in the group. Messi's departure leaves a vacuum of at least 35+ goals per season, how to fill it?
The Daily Sports newspaper said Harvey was very fond of Haaland. There is no pure No. 9 player in this Barca squad, Depay does not have the full trust of Xavi, Ferran Torres is the player that Xavi is going to use to play the fake No. 9, Haaland is top notch in terms of scoring ability, Barca need a goal machine that is as simple as eating, the Norwegian has strong physical fitness, super impact and obsession with goals, he is Barca's number one goal to strengthen the front line next season.
From the statistics, Haaland has scored 129 goals in 174 games of his career, including 23 goals in 19 Champions League games, which is rare in the world. Maybe people think that Haaland is not a player who fits barca's DNA, because he is not technically good, but he knows how to score goals, the ability to catch fighters in the box is top-notch, no matter how perfectly Barca run the scene, but it still needs a person to complete the final blow, it used to be Messi or Suarez to do the job, now they need a new candidate.
Of course, Barca also know the difficulty of bringing in Haaland, after all, many giants including Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris and so on have expressed interest, and the Red and Blues also need to sell people to raise funds. It is reported that agent Rayola and the player's father asked for a commission of 80 million euros, and Haaland's transfer fee was 75 million, which added up to 150 million euros. If you add to the salary paid for six seasons of signing Haaland, the total price will reach 350 million euros, and the deal will be very difficult for Barca.
As a neutral fan, seeing Mbappe go to Real Madrid and Haaland go to Barca, this confrontation will make the competition in La Liga more intense, and Barca will definitely do their best to get Haaland. But the transfer market is always volatile, and Barca must also prepare Plan B, with Vlahović, Morata and Isaac on the list. As things stand, Dortmund has urged Haaland to make a decision, and by the end of March or early April at the latest, Real Madrid will know if they can get Haaland's deal, and if the purchase fails, they will have to sign another striker instead.
The bidding war between Barca and Real Madrid against Haaland will be on the verge of breaking out.
