Transfer rumours:
Real Madrid or Barcelona must spend 350 million euros (£292m) to sign Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, a figure that includes the 21-year-old's transfer fee, wages across a six-year deal and commissions paid to agent Mino Raiola and his father. Does it just seem to me that this is a huge amount of money for a still relatively young player who has not learned to play under great pressure of expectations? Besides, it seems to me that this is an unattainable amount of money for Barcelona.

This is really interesting I think. If he is really going to cost that much to the teams interested in him despite having a favorable release clause, then there are not many teams which can afford him this summer. Because many teams have been having financial problems and only the rich ones have had the situation under control so far. Because of this, I think that Barcelona should already forget about him. But I can't say the same for the teams like PSG, Real Madrid and Manchester City. They would still be willing to pay that much money for him.

Actually, in my humble opinion, the option with Barcelona immediately looked less plausible than the options with other teams. If Barcelona did not manage to fit into the parameters of financial fair play in order to keep Messi in its squad, then what can we say about a full-fledged and expensive transfer of such a promising footballer as Haaland, not forgetting also that it will still have to spend money on payments to the footballer himself and his famous agent in the person of Mino Raiola. However, if the amount concerned only 75 million euros, then it seems that there would still be at least some chances that Barcelona would find financial reserves for this, but anything above 150 million euros would be clearly an unaffordable burden for the club.

I don't think that even Real Madrid will go for him at that price with that huge transfer fee you can't imagine the salary he will demand and Real Madrid still have soke players that earns a lot and with salary cap that LaLiga imposing it will be very difficult to see this happend not mention that the UEFA financial Fair Play will make them sell some players cause I Do not think that they are able to use more then 250-300M euros in a single transfer window.

I think it is much more important for Real to bring Mbappe to the club, and I think that after that transfer they really will not have enough finances to bring Haaland as well.
For Barcelona, that money is really too much in their current financial situation and therefore only PSG and Manchester City remains, as the only clubs that can spend so much money on Haaland.
I have to admit that Haaland and his manager are really asking for a lot of money and are not at all modest in their demands, despite the current financial crisis in football.
Such transactions are very risky, because the player may be seriously injured or not meet high expectations as happened with Bale, Hazard, Coutinho etc.
