Mbappé to Madrid and Barcelona wants Haaland, Laporta has already the plan to sign him and by this amount of money

La Liga next season will look very different, and the fans are excited to see that start. Real Madrid fans are the most excited as they'll finally get to see Kylian Mbappé wear the white jersey. The French star is one of the best players in the world, and he is set to dominate La Liga and in Europe. FC Barcelona fans are worried since they still can't afford to sign some big-name players like Real Madrid have done, even though they signed Mbappé as a free agent. FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta wants to make sure that he wins the presidency in 2026, and if he does, he plans to make a big signing. The big name that he wants to bring in is Manchester City striker Erling Haaland. This was mentioned in the past, and they would have to offer more than $100 million to sign him. The other player the Catalan club wants is Julian Alvarez, who is valued above $90 million and would also be the right profile for FC Barcelona.

A few months ago, reports in Spain suggested that Haaland had already said yes to FC Barcelona. Roger Torelló from Mundo Deportivo reported that Erling Haaland had already said yes to joining FC Barcelona in 2022. Barça tried to sign him before Lewandowski's arrival and he was very excited to join the club, however the club's economic situation was difficult. The Norwegian striker's contract with Man City expires in the summer of 2027.

Other reports suggest that the signing of Erling Haaland could be made next season as Barcelona is hoping to save up to pay a special release clause that could be activated next year. Graeme Bailey from GRV Media reported that FC Barcelona believes that Erling Haaland is the best replacement for Robert Lewandowski. Haaland will have a set release clause from 2025 worth $175M, and Barça is already working towards it. Haaland's current market value is at around $180 million, according to Transfermarkt. Haaland joining Real Madrid seems impossible now that the Spanish champions have lots of options in the attack, which leaves Barcelona as the favorites to sign the Norwegian striker if he leaves Man City.
