Joan Laporta wishes to complete statement signing of €200 million valued PL superstar

FC Barcelona's start to the 2024/25 season has been much better than fans would have expected. With 24 points from 8 wins out of 9 La Liga match days, the club has dominated their opponents so far, establishing itself at the table-top position. So far this season, all the components of the unit have responded brilliantly under Hansi Flick, with every player playing a crucial role in their season's success.

However, the club still has aspects to improve upon, and the Blaugrana board, being well aware of the same, has been looking for possible reinforcements. Having halted a move for a prodigy full-back signing this summer, the club has been linked with a few talented youngsters for the role. But, while the club, as is expected, is fancying options to improvise their squad further, recent reports suggest that President Joan Laporta wants to bring in a PL superstar forward as a statement signing.

So far this season, Barca's star forward Robert Lewandowski has been ecstatic upfront, having found a new prime on his reunion with Hansi Flick. With 10 goals from 9 La Liga matchdays, the Polish legend leads the Pichichi race and is one of the best forwards in European football this season, having 14 goal contributions. Considering the same, the club was even reported to halt a forward signing till the next summer, and thus, reports suggesting President Laporta's desire seem a bit surprising.

As per Diario SPORT, Joan Laporta wishes to complete a statement signing before his current term ends. While various options were being analyzed, the Barca President's big desire is to sign PL superstar Erling Haaland as they return to Camp Nou. Moreover, the report further suggests that it has been decided that the Blaugrana club would go all out for the ace forward.

While analyzing the whole scenario, it is clear that bringing in the 24-year-old unstoppable forward would be a brilliant addition to the club's roster; the club might have to spend very high for the player. However, as per Diario SPORT, Barcelona thinks they can sign Erling Haaland, as the relationship between his agent and Joan Laporta is very fluid.

Overall, while this sounds very favorable for the Blaugrana club, a lot more would depend on how the deal's financial aspects unfold. But, having said that, it is obvious that every Barca fan would hope to witness Erling Haaland at the Camp Nou next season.
