Such remarkable productivity has reignited Barcelona's interest in the 23-year-old forward. According to Jijantes, Deco probed Pimenta and Maxwell about Haaland's long-term prospects with Manchester City. Despite Barcelona's ongoing financial challenges, Haaland remains the dream signing for Barcelona president Joan Laporta.

With Robert Lewandowski expected to leave Camp Nou in the coming seasons and Real Madrid poised to add Kylian Mbappé to their formidable attacking lineup, it seems that Barcelona is contemplating a significant splash in the transfer market in the near future.
