Victor Font, the candidate for the presidency of FC Barcelona, confirmed that signing the Norwegian star Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker, is not possible in the near future. He pointed out that the player recently renewed his contract with his English club for a long term, making his transfer to the Catalan team at this time extremely difficult.

Font explained in media statements that long contracts in football are often not completed until the end, so there might be a future opportunity for the player to move to Barcelona. He added that Haaland is considered one of the best strikers in the world, and any major club would seek to sign him if the opportunity arises.

Font revealed that if he wins, his team will work on trying to reach an agreement that gives Barcelona the advantage of signing the player if he decides to leave Manchester City in the future, emphasizing that the idea is based on long-term planning rather than signing him at the present time.

He emphasized at the end of his statement that there has been no direct contact with Haaland out of respect for the regulations between clubs, affirming that talk of his joining Barcelona next season is unrealistic, and that the matter is currently limited to trying to secure a potential opportunity in the future.
