Recent comments from Watzke implies that he is confident that he can get Haaland to stay. In an interview with the BBC he said,
"“the only way is to look where Haaland will play after 1 September. I think I know where he’s going to play, but that’s all I have to say,”Source Mundo Deportivo"
Haaland is probably the best striker in the world currently after Robert Lewandowski however he has not even entered his prime yet and with a little bit of guidance and training, he could become a world-class player and even win multiple Ballon d’Ors. That is the reason why Joan Laporta is trying his very best to bring him to the Catalan side.
He would be a perfect replacement for Luis Suarez and he would surely thrive under the guidance of the best player in the world, Lionel Messi. Should he end up in Barcelona next season, it would be a miracle however, Laporta is known for making such miracles come true and we cannot write the possibility of Haaland joining Barca just yet.
