Barcelona president, Joan Laporta has come out to respond to speculation his club could try to sign Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Barcelona does not see such a signing as necessary right now because it could even distort what the club is building at the moment.
Laporta added that the club currently has a balanced team that is filled with several world-class players.
His words, “It’s just that we don’t see it as necessary. There will be some tweaks.
I do not see it necessary to make an investment that could distort what we are building, which is a balanced team. Next year we will have Gavi again, which gives energy. Pedri and Frenkie are world-class players like all the ones we have.”
WOW.
Erling Braut Haaland is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Manchester City and the Norway national team. Considered one of the best players in the world, he is known for his speed, strength, positioning, and finishing inside the box. Haaland holds the record for the most goals scored by a player in a single Premier League season, with 36.
Haaland was born on 21 July 2000 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, as his father Alfie Haaland was playing for Leeds United in the Premier League at the time. In 2004, at the age of three, he moved to Bryne, his parents’ hometown in Norway.
Along with playing football from an early age, Haaland took part in various other sports as a child, including handball, golf, and track and field. He also reportedly achieved a world record in his age category for the standing long jump when he was five, with a recorded distance of 1.63 metres in 2006.
