Barcelona’s chance to obtain Haaland is wide open

DBasia.news – Signing Erling Haaland is like a big dream for Europe’s top clubs. Not only is he young (21 years old) and can be a long-term investment, Haaland also has great potential to become one of Europe’s top strikers.

Haaland has the qualities an attacker needs from speed, physical strength to good finishing. Naturally, European clubs from PSG, Manchester City, Manchester United, to Barcelona are lining up.

When viewed from the financial strength, Barcelona are unable to compete at this time. It’s no secret that Barcelona’s financial condition has declined following the debt from the Josep Maria Bartomeu regime.

Haaland’s value is predicted to reach 100 million euros more. Even the Barcelona coach, Xavi, is pessimistic about his team’s chances of recruiting the Norwegian national team striker.

“Right now, (looking at) the difficult economic situation (recruiting Haaland), that’s the reality, but we’ll see,” said Xavi as quoted by Sport-English. “Regarding Haaland, I don’t know anything at all.”

Barcelona’s Opportunity to Sign Haaland

Still from the same source, Barca are in a financial condition that makes it difficult for the team to recruit Haaland. But the hope to recruit him emerged with the help of two new FIFA rules and the CVC.

CVC and Goldman Sachs can loan funds to Barcelona to purchase players. Barcelona reportedly agreed to borrow 595 million euros over the next 10 years. The funds could change Barca’s financial situation and 15% of it could be used to spend on players.

If Bara sells the club’s highest-paid earner or the players other European clubs are interested in, it could help the club sign Haaland.

Then regarding the FIFA rules, it is reported that FIFA will try to apply the rules governing the player agent commission. That can minimize spending by buyer clubs when they want to sign players.

Because until now, buyer clubs often spend up to millions of euros to pay player agent commissions, especially for top names like Mino Raiola and Jorge Mendes.
