Barcelona is reportedly planning a move to sign Manchester City striker Erling Haaland in 2025, as per Mundo Deportivo. The Catalan club sees the 23-year-old as a potential successor to Robert Lewandowski and hopes that securing Haaland's services will persuade current manager Xavi Hernandez to remain at the helm. Barcelona's leadership has been impressed by Xavi's development of young talents within the squad and aims to make a significant signing in the future to entice him to stay.
Haaland, who has netted 29 goals in 35 matches for Manchester City this season, is under contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2027. Previous reports have also linked the prolific striker to Barcelona's arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
