Joan Laporta talks up Barcelona move for Erling Braut Haaland

Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta has talked up the prospect of Erling Braut Haaland joining the Blaugrana during this summer’s transfer window.

The presidential elections were initially scheduled for January before it was pushed back to March 7 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Laporta is one of the three candidates in line for the post alongside Victor Font and Toni Freixa and he is seen as the favourite to win the election

The primary focus for the next president will be to reinforce the squad after what has been a disappointing 2020/21 campaign for the club judging by their high standards.
