After 26 games, Barcelona is ranked third in La Liga. On Sunday, February 3, Xavi’s team will take on Athletic Bilbao.
Erling Haaland of Manchester City’s team has been contacted by the Blaugrana recently. In other news, it was claimed in January that the Spanish champions turned down a €90 million bid for Ronald Araujo, their centre defender.
Jijantes FC claims that Barcelona has spoken with Erling Haaland‘s entourage.
One of the most deadly strikers in the world at the moment, the Manchester City player is also desired by Real Madrid. Haaland arrived at the Etihad from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 and has since been on an incredible run of form.
In the upcoming years, Los Blancos is anticipated to relocate for the Norwegian. The Blaugrana, meanwhile, are allegedly attempting to sabotage the preparations of their fierce rivals.
The player’s agents, Rafaela Pimenta and Maxwell, met with the club’s sporting director recently, which sparked discussions about a potential transfer to Camp Nou.
Real Madrid is reportedly close to acquiring Kylian Mbappe, therefore Barca president Joan Laporta may look to Haaland to start a competition between the players similar to that of Messi and Ronaldo in Spain.
Barcelona Rejected Huge January Offer For Ronald Araujo
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona rejected a huge bid from Bayern Munich for Ronald Araujo in January.
The Uruguayan defender, who has turned heads at the Allianz Arena, has become one of the Blaugrana’s most significant players in recent seasons. This season, Araujo has made 28 appearances across competitions, starting 25 of them.

The 24-year-old was eager to join the Bavarians in January since they are looking for a new defender this season. According to reports, the Bundesliga winners made an offer of €90 million for Araujo, which consisted of €80 million up front and a further €10 million.
It seems that the player was open to the idea of leaving Camp Nou as well. Nevertheless, Barcelona rejected the offer, demonstrating their confidence in the Uruguayan in spite of their appalling financial situation.
