Erling Haaland linked with Barcelona transfer in summer 2025 despite wage demands

Recent reports suggest that Erling Haaland has emerged as a transfer target for Barcelona in the upcoming summer of 2025, signaling a potentially sensational deal if it comes to fruition.

The Norwegian striker has swiftly ascended to the top of the wish lists for numerous elite clubs following his remarkable performances. After a commanding debut season with Manchester City, he continued his stellar form into a second term, leading the race for the golden boot once again.

During the 2022-23 season, Haaland shattered multiple records in the Premier League, solidifying his status as arguably the premier No. 9 in the world.

However, such excellence inevitably commands significant financial investment. Reports from April indicated that he was earning a staggering million per week at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium.

Considering Barcelona’s persistent financial challenges, which have led to registration issues in LaLiga in recent years, it might come as a surprise that they are reportedly considering a move for one of the highest-paid players in the sport.
