Barcelona Poised to Make a Move for a Player Targeted by Real Madrid, Valued at €175 Million”

The long-standing pursuit of Kylian Mbappe by Real Madrid has been a saga that has yet to yield results, with the Frenchman remaining at PSG despite significant speculation during the recent summer transfer window. While Real Madrid aims to secure Mbappe’s signature as a free agent next summer, the possibility of him extending his stay with PSG has not been ruled out, prompting the need for alternative targets. Many believe that Erling Haaland could be an even more enticing prospect than Mbappe.

Erling Haaland, currently with Manchester City, is regarded as one of the top contenders for the Ballon d’Or this year, standing alongside Lionel Messi in the race. Real Madrid has been linked with a move for Haaland since his Borussia Dortmund days, but they are not the sole club with the Norwegian striker on their radar.

According to 90min, Barcelona is positioning itself as a contender in the race to secure Haaland’s services and is preparing to make a move for the Manchester City superstar. Real Madrid had been considered Haaland’s most likely destination if he were to leave Manchester City in the future, but Barcelona has now entered the picture.

Barcelona’s financial challenges in recent times have limited their ability to make high-profile signings, raising questions about their capacity to complete a deal of this magnitude. Additionally, Haaland currently enjoys an ideal situation at Manchester City, leaving little incentive for him to consider a move at the moment.

The race for Erling Haaland’s signature is poised to intensify, with both Real Madrid and Barcelona vying for his services in the future.
