As reported by L’Esportiu on Wednesday, Xavi Hernández, Barcelona coach, and Jordi Cruyff, adviser to President Joan Laporta, traveled to Munich on Tuesday and met there with Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker who is recovering from his injury in Bavaria. Xavi and Jordi Cruyff reportedly explained the project to the player, who is debating between proposals from Manchester City, Madrid, PSG and Barça.
Knowing that it cannot with the economic muscle of its rivals, Barça tries to seduce the player in a thousand possible ways. One of them, the presence of Xavi himself to explain what role he would play in the Barça project in the medium and long term. Haaland’s preference at the moment is to go to Madrid, but do it now. If the white club has doubts, the Norwegian could change his mind and assess other proposals. Laporta has tried to convince his representative, Mino Raiola, on several occasions that Barça is the best option for Haaland, but at the moment the player is more inclined towards Madrid, if he decides to go for him once and for all.
