The departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid has left a void at PSG, which is actively looking for a new world-class striker. The target of choice? Erling Haaland, Manchester City’s prolific center forward. However, FC Barcelona are also in the running to sign the 24-year-old Norwegian striker, according to multiple sources.
PSG and Barça face a colossal financial challenge
Under contract until 2027, Haaland could be tempted by a new challenge outside the Premier League. FC Barcelona, in the midst of financial restructuring, will however have to face a major challenge: raising up to 400 million euros to hope to sign the Norwegian. For its part, PSG has greater financial power, but competition with the Catalan club, and the uncertainty around Pep Guardiola’s future at City, complicate the situation.
